Dealing with telemarketing people

Your phone: "Ring."
You: "Yes?"
Telemarketing person: "Hi, my name is Dave Ja-Vu. Could I have a few minutes of your time?"
You: "Of course. How much do I get paid?"
Telemarketing person: "Wha.. ..ehrm.. ..you don't get paid?"
You: "I see. So you're working pro bono?"
Telemarketing person: "What? No."
You: "Well, that can only mean you believe your time to be more valuable than mine. I can assure you that's not the case. Goodbye."

Thank me later.
