back when I got those calles, sometimes I would tell them about Jesus.

or I would sing to them.

or I would tell them what my hourly charge out rates are, and ask for their details so I can bill them.

or I would ask for their direct line, mobile or home number so I can call back when it's a convenient time for me.

or I would ask them where babies come from.

there were lots of options.

buying whatever they're trying to sell me really wasn't ever one, though ...
