I love that bit.
A few years ago I used to get called by some fundraising company on behalf of the Fraternal Order of Police. They would call 5-6 times a day. Leave messages, etc. They would hire the gruffest-sounding, most forceful men to do the fundraising--I suppose to make you think you were talking to a cop. After about the 30th call in two weeks, I finally answered the phone. The guy did his spiel and ended with: "And I'm happy to hear that I can put you down for a $300 donation." I simply said: "I'm involved with a lawsuit with the state police, and I don't think it will help my case if I give them money." I simply got: "Oh." And a dial tone. At least I never got called again.

A classic bit from the "Bob & Tom" show. We can't get our day started without listening to them!

I used to leave a porn tape in the vcr qued to a very heated part. When one of these fools would call I'd ask if they could hold for a minute while I finished taking care of the babysitter. I'd lay the phone in front of the tv and press play.

It's funny as all hell but I doubt that it was a real caller. It sounded just a bit contrived.
