ok, that was funny. Especially the, "hey get the LIttleton PD on the phone and tell them we've got a robbery homicide over here..."
I used to do a variation on what Moses does. I say, "oh crap I really want to talk to you, hold on just a second." Then I put the phone down and go about my business. About every minute or two I pick up the phone and say, "don't go away, I'm almost done here."
I think once one of them stayed on for almost 10 minutes. They got to hear the TV in the background. Since I went on the no-call list though, I don't get any calls any more
