which is why they all get the exact same response(*) from me: "put me on
your do-not-call list, we don't want junk calls here", followed by "got
that? good. now FOAD"

usually one FOAD is sufficient.  some persistent phone spammers need to be
told to FOAD three or even four times before they get the message.



(*) phone spammers have a script.  and so do i.  i like mine better.

"Faith is powerful enough to immunize people against all appeals to pity,
 to forgiveness, to decent human feelings. It even immunizes them against
 fear, if they honestly believe that a martyr's death will send them straight
 to heaven. What a weapon! Religious faith deserves a chapter to itself in
 the annals of war technology, on an even footing with the longbow, the
 warhorse, the tank, and the hydrogen bomb."
