Fun with Salesmen

My telephone rang, I picked it up, and music played for about 10 seconds. Then it started ringing, as if I had called someone, even though I hadn't. Being the curious person that I am, I decided to wait it out. Five rings later, someone picked up the phone and a male voice said, "Hello?"

"Uh, hello?" I said.

"How about 135 channels for $31 a month?" the guy said.

"No thanks," I replied, still a bit taken aback.

Without missing a beat, he responded with, "How about balloons?"

How he went from television channels to balloons, I have no idea, but this was getting more intriguing.

"Uhhh, NO," I said, leaving no room for doubt. I must have said it in a funny way, because the guy on the other end laughed. He obviously realized that his methods of trying to sell things over the phone were simply not working out very well.

And then he said something about flowers, thanked me, and hung up.
