 Yair... but I don't want the phone totally disabled, only at dinner
time.

 ROFL! What's your record wait, before they give up?

 I *hate* these lists. My stupid mother gave money to the Eye
Hospital after they'd saved her sight (what sort of a weak reason is
that to give money?) and *she* ended up on the charity list. I get
calls from the stangest charities...

 I had a real blokesy bloke yesterday (g'day mate, how'yr goin)
collecting for the Surf Life Saving. I told him I was against it...
they ought to let the stupid bastards drown.

 The telephone is okay, but I prefer them at the front door. The look
on their face is really funny when you tell them you're in favour of
starving children, or cripples, whatever...

 Another good one is to give them a sincere look and say, "Gee, I'm
sorry but I'm a catholic," and shut the door.

 They're halfway to the front gate before they work that one out.

Regards,
Bob
