Actually, it was clearly a mistken call.

Bell South has a horrible reputation, and I was actually dialing

1.800.FAT.LADY

They connected me to

1.800.FAT.LADD










Either it was a typo in the ad, or Falcon had a new source of income. :shock:

Awesome! I am in corporate sales for a living so I will usually at least listen to a good sales pitch. Sometimes if they get me in just the right mood, I will give him some selling advice and ask him to start over with a "Real" pitch. Of course I never buy anything :)

My old roomate in college used to mess with Telemarketers so badly I wish we would have a tape recorder. He would sit around thinking up scenarios just waiting for a telemarketer to call and mess with.
