Nightmare OTD

A telephone solicitor calls. "Mrs. Gold?" she asks.

I reply, "Hold on," and hand the phone over to my friend Lee Gold.

"Hello Lynn," the solicitor starts. Lee interrupts her.

"Hold on, I'm not Lynn," she replies. "I'll get her." She hands the phone back to me.

The phone solicitor starts. "Mrs. Gold?"

I reply, "I'm not 'Mrs.' Gold. Hold on," and hand the phone back to Lee.

Repeat scenario until I wake up.

Nightmare or not, sounds like a great way to handle telemarketers.

Reminds me of a post Simon Fairbourn (spelling?) made to Blatherchat at some point about how he's been dealing with telemarketers who ask for Mr. Kimberly. He's Mr. Fairbourn, but his wife is Ms. Kimberly, and her son is Master Kimberly, and it's her mother who is Mrs. Kimberly, so there is no Mr. Kimberly ... He has a lot of fun with this fact.
