I have one to add, if you have a young-sounding voice, and they ask for your age say your somewhere in your eighties.  Or, you could repeatedly yell at an imaginary child "If you're going to play with the chainsaw, take it outside!"[]

A freind of mine and I did the "girlfreind being beaten act"
We couldn't stop laughing when the salesperson had finally hung up.

I usually tell them I will listen to anything but will charge them a $200 fee per hour or any portion thereof.  I then ask for the name and address of the company so I know where to send the bill.

I get a huge laugh when they hang up on me! [^]

I've asked them for their credit card numbers. What's really fun is you say you'll order, get the whole thing set up and then tell them, "Do I hafta be 18 to order with my mom's credit card" I usually get hung up on at that point and the warm fuzzy feeling knowing that I've wasted tehir time.

I just tell them the truth.  

"My family's policy is to not purchase or give to charity from anyone who sells over the phone.  Please take us off your records."

I find it hard to lie.

- Ask them if they've got beer

- Start speaking in tongues

- Tell them that person doesn't live there anymore. Give them the
number of an adult service and tell them that it is her/his new number

- Tell them that you're not there right now

- Ask them if they accept coupons

- Start selling them something else

- If someone calls soliciting donations, tell them you're poor and ask
for money instead

- Start preaching your religion to them

- Pretend you're a recording and say "The number you have reached is
not in service. Please check the number and dial again, or talk to your operator for assistance. Recording A4." Extra points for imitating the 3 rising tones at the beginning.

- Try to hypnotise the telemarketer

- Play a recording of a busy signal

- Put on some really annoying music and put the phone up to the stereo.

- Ask the telemarketer if he/she is single. Then try hitting on
him/her. Be sure to mention your various medical problems, your
fascination with odd smells and your shrine to the Lawrence Welk Show.

- Use one of those voice changers to disguise your voice

- Rap all your replies to the telemarketer's questions, especially if
you're white.

- Ask the TM if he/she minds if you talk to him/her on the toilet. Then take a plastic Heinz ketchup bottle and squeeze out ketchup repeatedly (if you're ever used this kind of ketchup you'll know what kind of sound this makes!!!!!)

- Speak in ragga chant

- Try to rhyme with everything the telemarketer says

- Tell the TM that the person he/she is trying to reach is a victim of
black magic and has been turned into a poodle.

- Tell the TM that the person s/he is trying to reach has passed on,
and that you're the ghost of him/her.

- Sell them on the "value of high colonics". Explain your "dedication
to good health" in your most convincing, passionate voice.
