[QUOTE="Deadmeat, post: 224861, member: 704"] Years ago, long before telemarketers became common, I had some jerk who kept calling but never said anything once I answered the phone. He (or she) just stayed on the line until I hung up the phone. At the time I was doing a lot of competitive pistol shooting and reloaded my own ammunition. Having had enough, I went to the reloading bench, primed a case (sans bullet and powder), and put the gun beside the phone. Sure enough, the jerk called again and said nothing once I answered. At that point I picked up the gun, cocked the hammer, and touched off the primer next to the phone. You'd be amazed how loud a primer can be. Problem solved. He never called again. [/QUOTE]
