There's another author on the site, who related his reaction to political calls. Myself, I simply give any caller 3 seconds to speak intelligibly, and when no voice speaks, or if I hear a recording, I place the phone next to the radio, and walk away. Sometimes, many minutes pass before I get the disconnected call warbling tone from the phone, and then I hang it up. Oh, the fun and frivolity that abound in my life!
