We bet you hate it when you are in a middle of something and then out of nowhere the phone rings and there is a telemarketer on the other side trying to sell you a bunch of things you don\u2019t even need. This can be frustrating at times because these people are usually quite pushy and won\u2019t take no for an answer.\n

One man got fed up with all these annoying calls so he came up with an amazing plan on how to handle the situation.\n

Tom Mabe: \u201cHello?\u201d\n

Telemarketer: \u201cYes, can I speak with Tom Mabe?\u201d\n

Tom Mabe: \u201cWho\u2019s calling?\u201d\n

Telemarketer: \u201cThis is Mike. You have been selected to receive a complete digital satellite system for free. With this you\u2019re going to-\u201d\n

Tom Mabe: \u201cLet me ask you something. Did you know Tom Mabe? Were you a friend of his?\u201d\n

Mike: \u201cNo I\u2019m not. I\u2019m just calling to offer-\u201d\n

Tom Mabe: \u201cHol-hol-hold that thought- hold on a second (to others in the room: Hey guys! Get really good pictures of the body\u2026 and dust everything for prints.) Mike, you there?\u201d\n

Mike: \u201c-Yeah\u2026\u201d\n

Tom Mabe: \u201cYeah, lemme bring you up to speed. You\u2019ve actually called a murder scene\u2026 Mr. Mabe is no longer with us.. I\u2019m Officer Clarke, I\u2019m conducting a homicide investigation. I want to ask you a series of questions\u2026 First to all, what was the nature of the business you had with Tom Mabe?\u201d\n

Mike: \u201cI\u2026I had no business with him. I\u2019m sorry to have bothered”\n

Tom Mabe: “No no no hang on, I\u2019m going to ask you to stay on the phone\u2026 this call has already been traced and we may need to come in for further questioning\u2026\u201d\n

Mike: \u201cYou don\u2019t understand, I\u2019m just calling-\u201d\n

Tom Mabe: \u201cNo, you don\u2019t understand. Unless you want to be charged with Obstruction of Justice, it is imperative that you keep your @$$ on the phone, Mike.\u201d\n

Mike: \u201cHow about you just talk to my supervisor?\u201d\n

Tom Mabe: \u201cNo, we will get to your supervisor in a second. First, gimme your whereabouts\u2026\u201d\n

Mike: \u201cI\u2019m at work.\u201d\n

Tom Mabe: \u201cYou\u2019re at work?\u201d\n

Mike: \u201cYes.\u201d\n

Tom Mabe: \u201cYou bein\u2019 a smart @$$?\u201d\n

Mike: \u201cNo sir-\u201d\n

Tom Mabe: \u201cLemme put it to you this way, Mike. Say I want to mail your @$$ a letter. What would I have to write on the outside of that envelope to ensure that the mailman will deliver it right to your @$$? Geographically speaking, Mike, where is work?\u201d\n

Mike: \u201c40 West (beep), Middleton, Colorado.\u201d\n

Tom Mabe: \u201cHold on, that\u2019s 40\u2026\u201d\n

Mike: \u201cYes sir.\u201d\n

Tom Mabe: \u201cMichael, hold on one sec, alright?\u201d\n

Mike: \u201cYes sir.\u201d\n

Tom Mabe: \u201c(off phone to cops) Get the Middleton Homicide Department on the phone. Yeah, give them this information. Tell them there been a Talk In Connection with a fatal shooting and aggravated robbery.\u201d (on phone) \u201cMike, how did you know Mr. Mabe again?\u201d\n

Mike: \u201cWait, you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re calling the Middleton Police Department?! I\u2019m hundreds of miles away! I don\u2019t even know the guy, I\u2019m in Colorado!\u201d\n

Tom Mabe: \u201cNo, no, it\u2019s not that scary, that\u2019s just a formality. Have you been to his place of residence?\u201d\n

Mike: \u201cNo!\u201d\n

Tom Mabe: \u201cOK, and tell me again what, where were you last night between the hours of 8 and 10?\u201d\n

Mike: \u201cI\u2019m not feeling really comfortable with any of this\u2026\u201d\n

Tom: \u201cHave you even ever spoken to Mr. Mabe, Mike?\u201d\n

Mike: \u201cNo, I don\u2019t even know the guy- that\u2019s what I\u2019ve been trying to tell you!\u201d\n

Tom Mabe: \u201cOk, great, just calm down, hold on, look, just back up\u2026 I\u2019ve got just one more question fer you, Mike\u2026 as you well know, I\u2019m sure, Mr. Mabe was a flaming homosexual. And there is no easy way of asking this\u2026 I don\u2019t wanna embarress you or nothin\u2019\u2026 but\u2026 were you his gay lover?”\n

Mike: “What?! No! What the hell kind of question is that?!”\n

Tom Mabe: “Look look, if gay is your way, that\u2019s Ok. I still know there are a lotta you gay people in that closet. Not sayin\u2019 I haven\u2019t thought \u2019bout it myself\u2026 you know? Go out to Las Vegas, or somethin\u2019. Buy a couple o\u2019 drinks\u2026 cut lil\u2019 Mexican midget\u2026\u201d\n

Mike: \u201cThis is ridiculous! (hangs up.)\u201d\n
