To funny not to post. How to prank a telemarketer.

Dang. My filter won't let me look at that, LOL.

People gather around me at my house when a telemarketer calls. I can make 95% of them hang up on me, and the other 5% I get laughing so hard they forget why they called.

Giss, if you could pull this off you'd be a true master. Tom Mabe is the comedian and he was on Bob and Tom which where he did this. Some telemarketer calls and he makes like he is a detective at a murder scene and has this guy believing his local cops will be coming to investigate his roll in this guy's death. Its a classic...

LD -

I have heard that one! Classic!

I am not that inventive, I just make stuff up on the fly and see where it takes me. Most of what I do is geared by who is calling.

My favorite was when Chevy Chase bank called trying to get me to sign up for their Visa card. I went into my dumb Norwegian accent and told them that I thought Chevy Chase was pretty funny, but I was not about to borrow money from some comedian.

I had this lady so dang mad at me after about 10 minutes trying to explain that this was not the comedian's bank!

my uncle told one he was really interested in a credit card and it wouldnt matter that he was on his way to prison, right? Click. Of course he isnt on his way to prison.

I told one from the wall street journal that I was just a lonely pig farmer (no offense pig farmers...) that didnt read too well. she told me to get the paper and maybe I would learn to read better. i asked her if they had articles on pigs. that stopped her.

    • As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…
    • I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...
    • Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?
    • I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.
    • You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.   
    • Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
    • The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there.  About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
    • It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway.  Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work.  You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water.  When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
    • We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity. 
    • I've been out on the flats. It's like being on a different planet
