My favorite sales call, from a real live person yet, happened late last year....
I was recovering from surgery for cancer, and got a call selling funeral plots.
Seized the moment, acted all hysterical, demanded who told her I had cancer, did my husband put her up to this, he has always been after my money, does she know something I don't know , did the doctor tell her I was gonna die...on and on.
She was totally seriously mortified and torn between apologizing and wanting to hang up.
best laff of the year.
I miss real sales calls when I am in the mood to play......
