DJ Member Registered: 11/22/02 Posts: 1149 Loc: Ohio	Finally I thought of a way to get off of phone calls. It's usually my local phone company that calls trying to sell me services. You know how they call you up and say, "Before we begin, we must tell you that this phonecall may be recorded for quality purposes."? Shucks -- Why should I allow them to tape record me saying that I'm not interested in buying their services? So I say that it's _not_ okay with me to be tape recorded and goodbye. I hope someone somewhere gets the message. _________________________ http://dcvance.wordpress.com/

They NEVER want to be recorded, and usually just hang up. Some get so confused that they begin stuttering and spurting and usually just say, "I'm sorry, we can't let you do that." I then said, "Well, then I can't let you record me either." End of call. JJ _________________________ Queen JJ www.queenjawjaw.com All Things Royal - 2010 and Beyond Humorist for the NABBW

Then she turned and took a bow. What a nut she is....JJ she reminds me so much of you and yes she too is a redhead. _________________________ Take a peek at my BLOG: http://charleen-micheles.blogspot.com/
