Just got a phone political polling call. I hung up when

[PufPuf23]

the recorded voice said that I would receive a two day trip to the Bahamas for my answers.

Did I goof?

1. I'm getting that stupid call EVERY WEEK! It's driving me nuts. I'm getting it at work, too. nt

2. I could use a two day trip to the Bahamas

but only in case Romney gets in.

3. No, I have had those calls before

and when it says that i will be receiving two-day trip to the Bahamas, I always hang up. Plus, I have already been to the Bahamas.

4. Good choice. They were trying to get you out of the country on election day.

Thank you for not falling for those Republican tricks!

5. I knew there had to be an angle.

I always vote straight Democratic Party no matter how much nose pinching is required.

6. You too? I thought they might just be harrassing me.

BTW, it is a scam. After you "win" the trip, they ask you for your credit card number for "taxes" and such. Total phishing scam. Glad you hung up!

7. I knew it was a scam, but also a chance for humor at DU.

I only get fooled major things not the mundane. lol.

BS detector is robust; common sense and "want to believe" flawed..

8. I wait for the beep to enter a message and yell "FUCK YOU!"

In the mid '80s, I was in college on the health insurance the campus offered (reasonable rate). I got an automated call where the first question was "Are you paying too much for health insurance?" In a deadpan voice, I responded "no". It continued with something like "Of course. To lower your rate enter your (list of information) at the tone." I had some really sick King Crimson on the turntable that I'd turned down to answer the phone. This was a pretty powerful stereo with equally powerful speakers. That's all I left after the beep.

9. years ago I got a survey in the mail from my GOP congressman

The questions were printed on computer punch cards, I guess to make them more official looking. One question was: If guns were made illegal, do you think criminals and organized crime members would voluntarily give up their guns? I wrote in "Yes, I'm an optimist." Another question was: Do you think you have the right to protect yourself and your family from a viscious criminal attack? I wrote, "No, I'm a pacifist."
Of course the Congessman had a guest editorial the next week promoting our sacred 2nd amendment rights and stating that a recent poll conducted by his office found 98% of his constituents supported the right to bear arms.

10. I hang up on all these solicitors

That's when I answer. usually if I see a funny # on caller id, I don't answer.

11. Just got another one of those calls. Hung up.

I do not want a 2-day cruise to the Bahamas. Why do they keep calling?
