I just had a wacky spammy phone call... in which I didn't understand what the person what talking about, so I asked him in Greek, are you looking for my husband, Mr.Taz? And he said... something. That I didn't understand, so I told him in Greek, "I don't really speak Greek", and in English, "maybe you want my husband?" And he asked me to hold on. After which another guy came on and said in English, "you called us about Xproduct?" and I said, "No, I'm sure you have the wrong number," (and I'm really sure, because not only would we never, ever call about any product, my husband screams "
Fuck you!" into the phone when people call us like this).

But apparently, this was maybe a sales class about how to deal with difficult customers, or how to make a sale no matter what - or something like that, because I soon perceived that I was on speakerphone, and there were a whole bunch of people laughing. Not at me - at him, as I responded to his increasingly ridiculous statements. In the end, even he was laughing - though damn it, I don't remember exactly what I said. But I was pretty hilarious, and should probably try to make improvisational standup my next career. Apparently.
Also, henceforth, I should record all calls so I could provide proof of my wit, and have some memory of what the hell I said that was so good. But just take my word for it, 'K?
