I have fun with telemarketers more often than I should, sort-of in that same
vein. I answered the phone once "Rosalie's Enterprises, (a well-known
Springfield house of 'ill-repute') Dave the towel boy speaking!" When the guy
on the other end asked to speak to the lady of the house - showing A> he was
not local or he's have caught the Rosalie's bit and B> not too swift or he'd
have twigged to the "towel boy".

I replied "We got all ladies in this house. Which one you want? I can make an
appointment for you. Fifty bucks short time, 500 all night."  CLICK

And then there was the time I pretended to be a detective sergeant
investigating the suspicious death of Mr. Drum .... that was a REAL hoot.
