Does that produce any sales?

Say, where is this place??!!

If the corn telemarketer bothers me, I’ll give him an earful.

Yes, but will you dice the onions for me.

Also check today’s Non Sequitur

Switching onions??? Did they do something wrong?

How do you switch an onion?

Telemarketers often spoof their numbers. They use the same area code and exchange as the number they are calling and add four random digits (so you can’t block them) to make it look like they are local.

One time, the incoming call was from MY number. Either this was a one in a thousand happenstance or they need better software.

Caller ID is the best thing that was ever invented. Also ringtones. I have a special ringtone for people I know. I wish that there was a wholesale way to assign a ringtone to contacts.

If it’s really important, they will leave a voicemail.

Any business has to cultivate customers.

(But most of the claims these guys make are just so much horse manure.)

“Put the carrot down! Carrots are for closers!”

It would all be outsourced to some third-world country that would try to sell you eggplants as aubergines. :)

All the lies you can afford!

We’ll put you on hold for 15 minutes, then transfer to another dept and another dept, then ask you a million irrelevant questions, try to get your log in information, insult you, and then hang up.

Well, more weird than funny ……. ;-)
