Heh. That reminds me of this time about 2 years ago where I was awakened by a ringing phone.

It was this woman that wanted to sell me a book of coupons. I'm sure you've all gotten the call. She goes on and on and on for like 10 minutes while I lay there, about 79% asleep, with the phone just kinda laying on my face. I'm nowhere near conscious.

She goes "So, where should I send the book?" You know - that line that makes you feel bad when you say "Uh. You're retarded. I don't want them." Hate shooting them down like that.

I say "Could you repeat that?"

She goes "Where should I send the book?"

"No. Could you tell me what all I get with it?"

So she goes on for another probably 5 minutes, giving me a quicker run-down. Ends with something about how each book has $3,000 worth of coupons in it and whatnot. "So, how many times would you like to save three thousand dollars?"

I'm still about 78.9% asleep. I muster some words.

"I didn't hear you that time. Could you say it again?"

She hung up on me, and I think I fell back asleep with the phone on my face. I felt bad afterward, but it's a good point: Play dumb with them. It's good fun
