The sax players way of dealing with phone solicitors

Hey everyone, I am writing this post after MCI has called me 5 times in one day asking me to switch to their telephone service. They're the last company I would care to have for long distance, but that's a whole other story. After the 4th time of telling them "Look, I haven't changed my mind since the last 3 times you've called, please don't call again", I figured that the 5th call required more drastic measures. I was just playing around with my soprano sax when the 5th call came. I backed away from the phone and said "Can you please hold for a second while I grab my other phone so I can hear you better", pulled the mouthpiece off the soprano (as if a tenor or alto wasn't bad enough). I returned to the phone and asked if the person was still there, and then I blew just the mouthpiece into the phone as loud and as long as I could and hung up, laughing histarically. It was a lot of fun! Give it a try sometime!!!

    Funny! With any luck, you might have sterlized them. I guess they can now answer the question "Is it live or memorex"!

          Thats a nice way to deal with it=o). I might have to try that. You should put yourself on the do not call list, if they call you, you can bring legal action against them.
