Eliminating junk phone cals is easy.... get an unlisted number, then be very
careful about giving it out.  When writing checks, filling out applications,
etc, I tell 'em NO PHONE, when asked for a number.  Sometimes the clerks get
obnoxious and ask for a work number.  I tell them I don't work-- I'm
independently wealthy.  Sometimes a foolish clerk still demands a number
upon which I tell them 123-4567 or 555-1234.

Anyway, the bottom line is: NO JUNK PHONE CALLS! And sometimes a little fun
(and irritation) from clerks.
