Once in a while I'll hit the "talk" button when a known telemarketer calls and I'm watching TV or listening to music, and just sit the phone down with the receiver facing the source of the audio output. After ten minutes or so I'll hang it up again.
Hey, I should do that and then change the channel to QVC or the Home Shopping Network and just go watch what I'm watching in a different room. Sort of the telemarketing version of sending one junk-mailer's junkmail to another junk-mailer using the second junk-mailer's postage-paid return envelope.
