Bloody telemarketers for charity drive me demented. It's always something outrageously overpriced for kids and everyone knows it's a great big con but still they call and call and call. This latest one really took the cake
BT - Bloody Telemarketer
Me - Child loathing tight wad
Me- welcome to blah blah, this is Jane how can I help
BT - Hi Jane (insert endless speil about the weather, my day etc trying to get me to say yes three times) We are organising a special day out for all the terminally ill kiddies in your region and we'd like your support for the last 6 we have left on our list so they don't miss out on this wonderful event.
Me - Oh how sad
BT - Yes it's only $40 a head for each of them to attend a magic show. Can we count on your support?
Me - 40 Bucks?! Each?! Are you flying then to Vegas to see David Copperfeild live?
BT - we have nearly 2000 children going and we need your generous support to make sure the last 6 can go too.
Me - 2000 you say. Are you trying to tell me there are 2000 terminally ill children in my area of barely 100,000 people?
BT - Yes
Me - So your trying to tell me nearly 10 percent of all the children in my region have a terminal illness?
BT - (realising they are being rumbled) ummmmmm
Me - Does the Government know about this? What organisation did you say you were calling from?
BT -Ummmmmm.
Click and the line goes dead on me.
