I only get cold callers if some dipstick leaves the main door open but I am being plagued by some strange woman who seems to have written me off!

On answering the phone I get this soft, sticky sweet voice asking me if I´ve arranged my funeral! If she came out with ´hello mate, how are the funeral arrangements going?´ it wouldn´t be so bad but she makes me feel like the whole family is already grieving.

It makes me chuckle and I can easily get rid of her but imagine some elderly lady receiving a call like that.

For phone calls, I just let the answering machine screen the calls (mostly for my kids anyhow).

I haven't seen a salesperson in ages. A German Shepard dog or two works wonders on em. They also work well on Jehovah witnesses!

What's the difference between a Lada car and a Jehovas Witness? You can shut the door on a Jehovas Witness.
