I've found an extremely effective way of dealing with undesirable
callers.  Once I've answered and found out it's a telemarketer, I
simply say, "just a moment, please. . .", lay the telephone down on
the counter, floor, etc., and walk out of the room.  I come back 10-20
minutes later, and hang up the phone.  After doing this once or twice,
most telemarketing firms put my number in their "don't call" database.

I don't speak for my employer, and he doesn't speak for me.
