The word 'telemarketing' is derived from the ancient Latin: tele = at a distance + marketing = to disturb dinner.

Idea:  If you answer a phone and hear anything like a telemarketer, say the following: 
"You're the sixth caller to WKBX radio. Just answer this question to win $25,0000.  
Who was the first United States president?"    

When he says "George Washington", tell him he won the $25,000.   
Ask for his name, address and phone number.  
Then tell him to go home immediately to receive a confirmation call.   
THEN HANG UP!
