The phone rang and I picked it up - I said " Hello" normally - A man said " This is John from -----( local newspaper ) " obviously soliciting a subscription. I answered in a voice that was a mix of W.C. Fields - the Great Gildersleeve and a man getting a million dollars " Why! Helloo John and what can I do for you today?" There was a moments silence then " I don't need any funny stuff on this job. I'm going to hang up. " And he did. I'm still in a state of shock These people NEVER give up. Actually, I feel sorry for the people that try to make a living soliciting stuff. Bob Anibal
