	I got an interesting call from Sprint a couple of weeks ago.
One evening, a woman called to thank me for using my Sprint card.  I
informed her that I had never done so.  The conversation went
something like, "You do have a Sprint card, don't you?", "Yes, but
I've never used it".  "Do you ever use Sprint?".  "No, never."  "Have
you ever used it in the past?"  "No, never".  Still very polite on
both sides.  Then, the really strange thing was she said in a puzzled
voice, "Hmmm, that's very odd ..." and then, cheerfully, "Well, have a
nice evening" and she hung up.

	Is this a first?  A telemarketer voluntarily (and politely!)
ending the phone call before you hang up on them?
