That was my next move, LB.  I was going to add, "Like you told me to."  And then hang up.

That number comes up as Jean, Nevada, which has zero actual residents.

...so, she's an undead blonde?

Mom is better at trolling people who call (at the office I mean) trying to sell us something, when she gets bored, though she isn't very imaginative about it.

Several years ago she decided she would try evangelizing salespeople who called. The first person she tried it on kind of choked and cried and hung up after thanking Mom -- and after that we decided not to do it.  :-[

I waited for the rep to answer when "Rachel," called once.  I told the man I didn't own any credit cards and would they please remove my number.  He told me he would...if I sang him a song.  So, I tunefully sang, "F&^% YOU! TAKE MY NUMBER OFF THE LIST!!!!  F(*& YOU! TAKE MY NUMBER OFF THE LIST!!!!!!!!!!," and hung up.  They haven't stopped.  I guess they like my song.

Ok. I've got the lyrics. What's the tune? Or do you just sort of go with gangsta?

From Wiki:

QuoteThere are no residents of Jean, Nevada, but many people in nearby communities like Primm and Sandy Valley have "Jean" listed as the city in their mailing address because Jean is the location of the main post office in the 89019 ZIP code. Las Vegas Boulevard South ends about 2 mi (3.2 km) south of Jean, and contiguously runs northbound past Las Vegas, ending near the I-15-US 93 Junction.

I've been to Primm! Uhh.... in Fallout: New Vegas I mean.
