The local paper, which I don't bother to subscribe to since I don't have a bird, calls every couple of weeks to try and get me to subscribe. With Caller ID this becomes a perfect opportunity. Here are some of the highlights.

Phone rings. I glance at the Caller ID and pick up the phone.

Me: "OK I'll take a subscription, but I only want it on weekends."

Them: "What?"

Me: "You want to sell me a subscription. I'll take it, but only for Saturday and Sunday."

Them: "We only offer it Thursday through Sunday."

Me: "Oh then never mind."

I hang up.

Phone rings. I glance at the Caller ID and pick up the phone.

Me: "I don't want a subscription"

Them: (silence) "What?"

Me: "You are calling to offer me a subscription. I don't want one."

Them: (silence) "Uh... OK."

I hang up.

Phone rings. I glance at the Caller ID and pick up the phone.

Me: "Hi! Is this Billy-Bob's Gun and Ammo Shop?"

Them: (silence)

Me: "I wanna buy a gun. You got any?"

Them: (silence)

I hang up.

Phone rings. I glance at the Caller ID and pick up the phone.

Me: "Good afternoon, Gainesville Sun circulation department. How may I help you?"

Them: (silence) "Umm... Sorry. Wrong number."

I hang up.
