Transcript:
Good evening, Mr... Boo-kay. How are you tonight? Doesn't matter. What are you selling? Please don't be like that. Why not? Well, what if I'm not selling anything at all? Are you? Yes, that's not the point!

Wish he had added “its bucket, and not pronounced bouque”. The series is great, but that precise joke doesn´t really fit here imo.

I can totally relate to this strip today…
We are always getting recorded messages saying stuff like
‘This is an Urgent Message’ ‘Are you in debt?’ and blah de blah and I also get texts to claim for compensation, when I have never been in an accident

I’ve been getting a collection call I think … pre-recorded.“This is a message for Allan Vander s-p-e-k” (Vander is said, and spek is spelt.) LOL

They’ve obviously mistaken him for his sister, the one with a swimming pool and room for a pony.

And as far as British comedys go, if anyone wants to spend an evening LOLing get the “Father Ted” series. Netflix has it.

Lately, I’ve been getting an automated message that starts out with a loud blowhorn that almost deafens you if you have the sound up loud enough, then doesn’t give an option to talk to someone unless you listen through the rest of the overly-loud message. Problem is, they typically call while I’m at work so I can’t answer it, I just recognize the number and know what’s coming. :-s

It’s Mr. Bucket to you!

My husband’s first name is Waldo, but nobody calls him that. When some calls asking for Waldo we know it’s a sales call.IMO the funniest British comedy is “Outnumbered”…. a school teacher, his wife and 3 children…kind of like this strip with Alice Otterloop added in (or maybe more like Cul-de-sac plus Calvin)

Do not call lists are a waste – they just get sold to telemarketers in foreign countries, not subject to US or Canadian do not call lists.

Greg did you get this idea from “Mac” by Michael McParlane that ran a couple of weeks ago, per chance? :-D

Understand Larry’s – sigh – what are you selling? sigh. Always tell a telemarketer by how they say your name..One nice thing about switching my home phone number to my cell – if telemarketers call? = if I don’t recognize the number, I don’t answer. That’s what voice mail is for.
