How do you handle phone calls from telemarketers?
I have the exact same schpeal for each caller.
"We do not accept phone solicitations of any kind at this number. Please take any contact information regarding me or this number off your list. '
PAUSE
"Am I being clear?"
This is where there is a long pause from them and I state:
"I asked you if my request to you was clear. I need you to acknowledge that you heard me."
This usually starts a debate from the caller that they are not "technically a solicitation."
If you do not know me personally, this is considered a phone solicitation.
Good Bye

What's the most famous movie you've never seen?
Submitted by Mike.
Star Wars... I was born in 1972 and I can honestly say I've never seen Star Wars, nor have any desire to see it!
What gameshow or reality show would you kick butt on?
I swear I was born to be a game show contestant but I've never really made the big times (YET!).
I don't think about being a contender on just one game show, rather how I would be on various game shows. Here's what I mean:
Jeopardy- I would have to wear a smart looking suit and keep my boobs under wraps. Alex doesn't seem to go for anything vulgar and cleavage is a definate no-no. I would pray to not have any catergories like "The Bible", or "Roman Empire" and wiggle my way into the high dollar items at bottom of "Potpourri" and "Starts with "E"" catergories. My hobby or fun fact would be key to my 15 minutes of fame. Everyone is a librarian (snore) so I would want to highlight my writing classes at Second City or that Erma Bombeck was my 2nd cousin.
Wheel of Fortune- I've lost my connection to "The Wheel" since Pat Sajak had to give up quick math for the shopping spree. $265 for a cat lithograph?! Not that I wanted it, but I wanted to know what it felt like to throw away cash at such a crappy and useless prize.
The Price is Right- I know you're thinking "what does any woman want to do with a sexist guy like Bob?" I don't know but I want to be called. "Shannon Cunningham, come on down!!!" I would be enthusiastic but not obnoxious. And as much as I hate the bitches that bid $1 over the highest bid, I would totally steal the same strategy. I don't know what I would want to win but I don't wanna play PLINKO or that MOUNTAIN CLIMBER game. Those are the lamest ones. What I'm really looking forward to is spinning THE WHEEL. I've put a lot of thought in the THE WHEEL. First of all you need the right wardrobe. No untucked shirts or dunlap jeans. Nope I would have to ensure that I was wearing a jacket to cover any spillage. My spin would be hearty. I would stand on my tippy toes and reach to the highest rung and whip that wheel around and hope for $1.00. I hope I make it to the SHOWCASE SHOWDOWN!
But my favorite game would be HOLLYWOOD SQUARES!
Hollywood Squares- How perfect to get Whoopi Goldberg for the center square? Or Bruce Valanche for a block? Or see Anna Nicole try to define any words that don't start with the letter 'slur'?
I think I'll move to LA and work the gameshow circuit!
