Had some free time one day and spent about an hour with some outfit trying to sell me an extended warranty on my truck, agreed with everything they said, told em what a fantastic offer they had, signed up for every possible upgrade and was practically begging them to take my money, finally got to the part where they transfer you to the supervisor to review close the deal, went thru his whole spiel then when he asked for the CC I told him to hold on while I dug it out, told him how grateful I was that they would offer such a fantastic deal on a truck with 375,000 miles on it. His response was slightly less than professional! I don’t believe I’ve heard back from them since.
I think the ones that really get me are the ones that start off with ‘this is not a sales call’ then they launch into their sales pitch, I’m thinking Really! You’re gonna start this off by lying to me?

When I was just out of high school the navy called me multiple times a day. I told em I was a heroine addict wanted to quit and would join if they would pay to send me to rehab. The guy stumbled over his words for a minute then informed me that maybe I wasn't navy material..

And for those saying you cant have a beer and a cigar on a zero turn...you're not trying hard enough.
Beer in one hand cigar in the other. Press levers with the butt of your palms. When you need to take a pull of either, you just move one hand over and steer both with one hand.
Ask how I know

I do different things depending on my mood and whether they catch me on a good day or a bad day. 90% of the time, when I see one of those numbers, I answer the phone “police department”. That gets them off the phone very fast. There are days when I tell them things that would make the toughest sailors shiver, especially with scam calls of “your account was compromised” or “your social security benefits are being cancelled”. Every now and again, with regular sales calls, I will listen to their pitch and proceed looking for my credit card while putting them on hold for the next 2 hours

I may be drunk, Miss, but in the morning I will be sober and you will still be ugly.
