Anti-telemarketing script

I love those times on Seinfeld when Jerry got back at the telemarketers. Of course, as a fictional character in a TV show, Jerry had the advantage of planning out what to say. In real life your up against someone who has a carefully developed script and response list that makes it very hard to talk your way off nicely. Really your only quick and painless option is to hang-up, but even against these hated telemarketers I find that hard. A "cold" hang-up just goes against the telephone etiquette conscience built up in the back of my mind. Well now there's a solution, the EGBG anti-telemarketing counterscript. A taste of their own medicine.
