Perhaps the most amusing time I ever had with a telephone salesperson
was one from a company in the business of waterproofing basements.
It turned out that we had had some foundation cracks repaired by
this very same company only 2 or 3 years earlier (obviously they
were just calling randomly).

Caller: Hello, I'm calling from ... company, do you have problems
with seepage in your basement?  (or some such opener).

Me:  I used to, but I had it fixed a few years ago.

Caller:  And who did the repairs?

Me:  You did!

Caller (flustered):  Um, er, uh,... Are you satisfied with the job?
