Called by some woman claiming to be the National Research Group doing a poll. Of course google does not come up with any such organization.
"Given that the war on terror is the most imporant issue of our times, rate the following potential presidential candidates on a scale of 1 to 5 blah blah blah ... Rudi Guliani."
"Uh who are the other choices?" (At this point, given that this was obviously a push poll, I wasn't going to answer anyhow.)
long pause for obnoxious callee going off script... "John McCain, Hillary Clinton, John Edwards"
I declined to participate. Ah it is indeed election season.

1. I got that one too....told her I thought there is no such thing as a War on Terror -- |

As Gore Vidal said, it's a metaphor, like "war on dandruff" -- and she pushed, and I finally said "Look, that's a specious question, so it can't be answered."
She went away. Maybe she thought I was being obscene.....

let them go through their speel, the longer the better. When they get done, leave a slight pause and then say hello--h-el-lo, you there, hello?
Let them think they lost the connection and keep yelling louder ...I can barely hear you, are you there hello? Then just hang up :rofl:
