solicitor-b-gone

One of the easier phone solicitations I've ever dealt with happened yesterday:
Phone Solicitor: Is Todd Stadler there?
Me: May I ask who's calling?
PS: This is [some name] from [some company], and I'm calling to [begins to launch into some spiel about some offer] ...
Me: I'm not interested.
PS: Well, sir, how do you know?
Me: [thinks for a while] Because there are more important things in life than anything you could possibly be calling to tell me about.
PS: Okay, you're right. You got me there. Goodbye.
I'll have to see if this works on the rest of them.
