What’s a more bothersome cell phone call, a telemarketer, or a crank caller? Or getting both inside of ten minutes?
Almost done reading Choke by Chuck Palahniuk; it’s amazing how much he accomplishes with so few words. Simplicity rules.

Palahniuk is great. I have all of his books, but I haven’t actually read Choke yet.
As for the callers, I think I’d take the prank caller or the telemarketer. Sometimes they’re creative, and at the very least they’re not trying to sell me something.
Chuck P is the man. Who else gets 1100 people at book signings?
I prefer telemarketers for one reason: the calls are so easily disposed of. “Are you looking to improve your home?” Click. Most question based greetings are sales pitches, come to think of it.
…getting both inside of ten minutes…
send the telemarketers back with the illegal aliens….
Rutreau, I wonder if there are really illegal aliens in practice these days. I think the time for that discussion was forty years back when the numbers were small. Maybe on paper there is such a classification, but something like twelve million people are here with little or no documentation — roughly six times the prison population. And rather than drag on the economy like the inmates at correctional facilities do, aliens add value.
I mean for starters, I don’t see them tying up the legal system by suing the cafeteria because it serves chunky instead of creamy peanut butter. Hell, the last place an undocumented person wants to be is in court. So already they have points in their column.
But if you’d like to send telemarketers to say, a place inside Satan’s jock strap, I’m all for that.
