10 ways to stop all those irritating calls...

1. After the telemarketer finishes speaking, ask him/her to marry you.

2. Tell the telemarketer you are busy at the moment, and ask him/her if he/she will give you his/her home phone number so you can call him/her back.

3. Ask them to repeat everything they say, several times.

4. Tell them it is dinner time, BUT ask if they would please hold. Put them on your speaker phone while you continue to eat at your leisure. Smack your food loudly and continue with your dinner conversation.

5. Tell them that all business goes through your agent, and hand the phone to your five year old child.

6. Tell them you are hard of hearing and that they need to speak up...louder...louder...louder!

7. Tell them to speak very slowly because you want to write every word down.

8. If they start out with, "How are you today?", say "I'm so glad you asked, because no one these days seems to care, and I have all these problems............"

9. Cry out in surprise, "Helen, is that you? I've been hoping you'd call! How is the family?" When they insist they are not Helen, tell them to stop joking. This works especially well if the telemarketer is really MALE.

10. Tell the call center guy to call on your office number - and give him the ICICI call center number.

A father and his son go into the drug store when they happen upon the condom aisle.

The son asks his father why there are so many different boxes of condoms.

The father replies, "Well, you see that 3 pack? That`s for when you`re in high school. You have 2 for Friday night and 1 for Saturday night."

Nodding agreement, the son asks his father, "Then what`s the 6 pack for?"

"That`s for when you`re in college," the father says. "You have 2 for Friday night, 2 for Saturday night, and 2 for Sunday morning."

Following this line of logic, the son enthusiastically asks what the 12 pack is for.

"That`s for when you`re married, son. You have one for January, one for February, one for March..."

This photo, supplied by the Lincoln Park Zoo,shows a tiny Solomon Island leaf froglet ( Ceratobatrachus guentheri) delicately perches on the fingertip of its animal keeper at Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago on Thursday, May 1, 2008. Hatched on Feb. 16, this species is particularly unique as it hatches as a perfectly formed tiny frog rather than a tadpole. It is one of the few species of frogs in the world that do this. Native to Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands this species is not yet endangered, however they do face many of the same environmental challenges, such as pollution and loss of habitat that is jeopardizing nearly half of the world
