That's right. I heard it on NPR. They called and he said, in a really
desparate voice, 'Sure. Sure. I'll buy whatever you have, but only
if you can sell me something that will get human blood stains out
of the carpet. Like, big stains, not tiny drops.'

You could hear the telemarketer totally crap his pants on the other
line. He sells a CD of them. I can't remember the details though...

That's not right. Going by the call centre where I worked in Oz. Basically, you get the 'dead line' nothingness because the telemarketer clicks on next, then the computer autodialled, and when the phone got answered, the telemarketer's phone rang. So basically the dead line is the time between u answering and the telemarketer picking up on his/her end.

I have got a guy on the phone at the moment, he's been there for about four minutes, but I didn't catch the start time.

Best thing is, he lasted 2:50 the last time he rang up - which was about two minutes ago.

And now he's back for more!

LOLOLOLOL!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂
That call lasted about five minutes, but I didn't catch the start time.

He rang back for a THIRD time a few minutes later.

Unfortunately my flatmate answered it and got rid of him in the traditional manner with something along the lines of "not today thank you".

Glad to see I'm not the only one who uses this "Hang on just a minute" routine with telemarketers. I've been doing this for a couple years now...drives my wife nuts...but I get a big kick out of it.

can't have been much more than 3 minutes... If you get 'Beverly' from 'homecall' on the line I think she is wise to it... 🙄
