Greetings,
Saw this ... just had to share ...
"Why I don't Answer the Phone! Vol. II"
Very silly ...

LMAO! This is what I liked best:
in English, Press 1, in Bad English, Press 2, -> precious! (especially for a non-native, like me) ;-)

Hehe, I hate telemarketers. When I switched to my current provider I found out they have a feature blocking callers that don't send their numbers, i.e. like every telemarketing firm out there. So ever since then I haven't had one anoying call :)
I love people who make fun of calls like that... here's a classic:

I see that 3DGuy knows about,
telemarketers
That youtube clip is great!!! I just viewed it again.
If you have read "Good Omens" by Neil Gaiman,Terry Pratchett (and if you
haven't, why not?) ... you will see some sly observations about telemarketers.

depending on my mood...when telemarketers ask for me i either say i died that morning, i've run away to join an eskimo tribe or i tell them to hold while i get me, then i put the phone beside me and see how long they wait b4 hanging up...the longest for that was 15 mins....very funny

I have found that saying the magic words,
"I'm sorry, but my parents aren't here"
... will make a telemarketer ... go away ... fast!
Another effective way to meddle with a telemarketer would be to
sound like a slow 5 year old and say,
"You should talk to my parents
... but I don't know where they are
... I haven't seen them since they left the house 3 days ago"

p.s. After using method #2, don't be surprised if you get a visit from
Child Protective Services. Too bad they won't be as easy to get quit of.
