My father in law tries to keep phone salesmen on the phone as long as possible.
He never buys anything; he just enjoys wasting there time.
He also gets his credit card out and flips it end over end in his hand because it gets his wife upset.
"Larry, don't you buy anything.... Larry, put that card away....", she can be heard to say.

5 minutes? Girl.
I had one on the phone for over 30 minutes in total (he actually called back)
I started up a VM when he first called, and (after lots of chat) allowed him to remote into the machine.
what joy there was to be had as he showed me all these system errors which "showed I had a virus" and then told me they could remotely install software to not only stop all the viruses I had, but also stop any future viruses.
I told him that sounded great, and all I had to do was give him my credit card number.
So I did.
I must have read it out wrong and given him the wrong name, because it wouldn't work at his end! (I even wrote teh fake number and name down so I could tell him the same one each time)
when he told me the number wasn't right, and I told him that was what was written on my card, he started to get quite angry!
That's when I told him to go f*** himself. He hung up.

The last call I got from "Windows" about my computer was barely audible so I asked him to repeat himself and he gave himself a different name. I fell about laughing and he hung up.

Use to get calls saying they could reduce my credit card payments. I would ask what credit card I had and they would hangup.
Another one I asked for the name of his lawyer as it is illegal to call cell phones with that type of call, he also hung up.
How rude of people to hangup like that.

Quote: When you saw a handsome/a beautiful person in a party, approach and told him/her: I’m rich, marry me. You call that direct marketing.
When you send your friend to tell him/her that you’re rich and want to marry him/her, that’s what you called advertising.
When you get his/her number and called him/her the following day to say that you’re rich and you want to marry him/her, you called that tele-marketing.
And finally, when a guy told a lady that he’s rich, marry me and the girl slapped him, that’s what you called customer’s feedback.
I hope you can open the link from here[^]

Okay. I just want to share the humor of the Senator. So, if you didn't see it as a laughing stuff, okay. Maybe, it's not funny for the other guys in here.

Pay no attention to him, he thinks he owns this place just because he's racked up a zillion points by posting inane crap, using the lounge like twitter and touting his wares. He's a wannabe poitician too.

I'm tempted to flag this as spam/abusive, because I don't like (presumably) reputable members of the CP hiding behind sock puppet accounts because they don't have the guts to post their opinions in their own name...
But I won't, because - let's face it - I don't really care enough to bother...

That joke's been around for years before the person the OP attributed it to regurgitated it. It's not lost in translation, merely lame.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging 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?
