Back in the days when RS used to insist on getting this information, I'd just 
feed 'em BS:

Droid: Can I have your name please?

Me: No.

Droid: Then I can't sell to you.

Me: Oh.  In that case, my name is Cash.  Johnny Cash.

Droid, with a grin on his face: And your street address?

Me: 1234 Onion Street

Droid: city and state?

Me: Nowhereville, East Virginia.

Droid: thank you sir, have a nice day...
