How to lose a telemarketer in ten calls

I got a call from a telemarketer the other day. It was for a something or something or other. It was I think Pharma-related. Anyway, when the lady called up, it was obvious that it was a telemarketer or telemark for short. She said Can I please speak to <*****>? I said Yes one moment, can I tell him who's calling? She said "This is Rose Pattergillman with Pharmasearch Incorporated Associates Limited. I have a great deal for you to buy it." I said "To buy it? What does that mean?" She said "I mean, you need to buy it to use it." Ok, this is where the funny part happened. I said "I'm going to hang up on you because I don't understand your use of the pronoun "It"." She said "Ok I'll hangup." Then she hung up. It was a riot. You probably had to be there. But you were there, because you're in my dreams, haunting my sleep spindles. Or maybe I'm in your dreams, haunting your theta waves.
