My suggested reply for those people would be:

"My contracting rate is $500 per hour. 140 hours minimum contract length. Maximum of 8 hours per day and 35 hours per week. I have to keep some room in my schedule to find a new permanent job after all. Shucks | :-\ "

And yes, I would keep the part about looking for a new job there as an additional explicit Elephant | [mastadon] you to the First Meme Lord of the Internet and Grand High Twidiot (on top of the contractual work/life balance, something he abhors the idea of his employees having).

Although with the holidays coming and hiring slowing to a crawl during them, a 2 or 3 month minimum duration might have some merit.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?
