George,

 GP> AT&T: (click)

  There is a service called Jolly Roger...which is $12 a year. They have
"good bots" that will handle all these telemarketers, tying them up with
thinking they're going to get you to buy a product. Not to worry...these
bots will never agree to any purchase, but it keeps the telemarketers
tied up, taking away the time when they could call someone else.

  With the auto insurance and warranty, I may tell them "I don't have a
car" (and that may soon be true for me). Or I thought asking about a
bicycle or a unicycle.

  You've got a rep-pew-tation now.

  Revenge is a dish best served cold.

  Or let out this huge belch, fart, or gag...making it like you're sick
as a dog. Or like one couple did, go full bore into love making, with
all the orgiastic sounds, etc. you could think of.
