"Hello?"
"Hello, I'm calling from XYZ Official Survey Foundation. We're taking a survey on gun ownership in America. Do you have a gun in your house?"
"Hang on, let me transfer your call to the guy who handles those questions around here, Mr. Dialtone."
*click*
Seriously, though; how accurate do they think their responses are going to be?
I refuse to tell ANYONE how many firearms are in my possession; it's none of their damn business unless they can prove that I have used one of them in the commission of a crime.
ReplyDeleteI get a regular "tele-market" here at the shop from some outfit called "Braun Research Incoporated". I made the mistake of answering and listening to them once, and after a brief explanation that they are taking a survey for "the banking industry", they immediately ask for my company's gross reciepts per year.
ReplyDeleteI am tempted next time they call to answer, let them ask that question, and then ask the caller to tell me how many times he/she has been laid this week and how many orgasms they experienced, and how many were self inflicted.
My favorite response to a telemarketer:
ReplyDelete"What are you wearing?"
After each response I make I'll ask them, "Does that make you horny?"
"Can I answer naked?" is better.
ReplyDeleteI just hang up.
How many guns do I own? A gun being defined as serial numbered receiver, I own and integer number of guns.
ReplyDeleteFunniest damn line I've read in a while...
ReplyDelete"right off the bat about 30% of the people they go to interview now tell the interviewers (in effect) "F$%# off!"
Gee, I wonder what the gun ownership rate in that demographic is?" KB
LOL!
