A very Aspie joke

Post Reply New Topic

In response to newspaper telemarketers, my dad is fond of responding either :

"No, I'm blind".
or
"Nope, we're all illiterate in this house".

LOLOLOL@ the original poster AND at the other people who had fun things to tell telemarketers! I especially liked the OP's post and the "No, I'm blind" or "No, we're all illiterate in this house" one.


I can't think up comebacks quick like that. I need to let my mind wander for hours or days to come up with something like that that I should have said to the person, and by then it's too late to say it to them.

Awesome. Made me laugh. Rare.

I always wanted to get the people who say 'it's only pennies a day'

"can you bill me daily?"

"No"

"Then it's not really pennies a day, then, is it?"...

Because of my sucky communication skills, I wouldn't be able to come up with comebacks like that. It's easier online on forums because you have time to think but you don't have time to think in conversations.


I could tell this was all intentional just by how the OP told his story. I wondered how he remembered all that? Did he record it on his answering machine and then typed the post as he listened to it?



But the money thing would be real easy to do because all I have to do is say "How often will I be getting checks?"

And if I'm busy and I don't want to be bothered, I would just ask them to give me their name and number.

tis all funny

That was hilarious.

I wish I could come up with funny things like that!

I respond to telemarketers by pretending to be someone else. They ask if Shawn is there and I say "no" even though it really is me. Works every time. Sometimes I just don't answer the phone, and I respond if someone leaves a message.
