Thick heavy accent. I asked for our business to be taken off their call list. His response "Sure I can do that but first you'll have to sleep with me."
I get so many calls a day, I just got to where I put them on hold take the phone to the bathroom, take them off hold, and start flushing all the toilets......got at least 2 of them to stop calling.

Excellent advice. I have been saying the same thing for years.
Folks, if you want the calls to stop...
A) NEVER ANSWER UNKNOWN CALLS! NOW DAYS, THEY ARE ALWAYS CRIMINAL TELEMARKETERS!
B) PURCHASE A CALL BLOCKING DEVICE - IT'S 2015. You have an answering machine...you should have a blocking device. We like the Di*it**e call blocker because it can block ENTIRE AREA CODES. Currently we have over 250 area codes blocked and our phones DO NOT RING - NOT EVEN ONCE! The Di*it**e blocker also AUTOMATICALLY blocks "out of area" and 'private numbers."
This morning, we have already receive two "out of area" calls and our phones did not ring.
C) NEVER CALL THE NUMBER BACK! The numbers are usually spoofed, anyway...and NO, they won't take you off their call list...you have just verified that you have a "live" telephone number! Your phone number can now be sold to other CRIMINALS.
D) BLOWING HORNS...telephone lines are by their very nature, limited in volume. The only ears that will be hurt by blowing horns, will be your own.
We also have the Panasonic phone that blocks 250 full telephone numbers - we use the Panasonic phone to block local numbers such as 310, 213, 805, 909, 714, 818, 323. Foreign area codes go into our Di*it**e call blocker. For example, we have ALL Texass and Florida area codes blocked.
I sincerely hope that this info helps - and big thanks to Slim!
