The Beauty of Caller I.D.

"It’s another telemarketer; don’t bother picking up."

"Are you kidding? This is the topic of my dreams." clears throat. "Hello?"

"Yes, can I speak to Rey Reynoso?"

"Sorry there’s no one here by that name. I’m Gozer."

"Pardon?"

"Gozer the Gozerian, Gozer the Destructor, Volguus Zildrohar?"

"Are you the Homeowner?"

"I’m a traveler and a big Sumerian God. Subcreature." click "Hello?"

    ROFL. OK, you had to top my story from the other day when I told someone asking for money from my old high school that “MCF” wasn’t home from work yet. Just for that, the next telemarketer that calls here is going to be speaking with Thanos of Titan….

    Too funny. I usually ask if they can hold on a second and put the phone down while I play with the dogs. Barking and frolicking ensues for a bit. Then I pick up the phone and say loudly “Oh, I left the phone off the hook.” before hanging up.

    I think next time I’ll ask them to Choose.

    Oh that’s awesome. I always intend to play with them, but usually just hang up.
