A telemarketer counterscript

We don’t get too many telemarketers calling our household, and when we do they’re usually diverted because we’re habitual answering-machine screeners (family members haved learned to just say “Pick up. It’s me.”). But in case you do get trapped by the guy trying to sell you chimney sweep services (honestly, it just happened the other day), here’s a great counterscript that should make the call a little more entertaining. Or, if you’re my brother, you just repeat the word “pancakes” into the phone in a monotonous voice until the telemarketer gives up!
