6.30pm, phone rings at home. I answer. A girl with a very strong Indian accent is on the other side:

Girl: Hello, sir. I’m calling on behalf of [some telecom company I had never heard of]. How are you?
Me: I’m fine, thanks.
Girl: I’m calling to offer you a great deal on your home phone line. I can offer you a monthly fee of only X dollars, and I can give you a 10-dollar sign-in bonus. So, would you like to save money on your phone line?
Me: Hmmm, I already pay less than X a month.
Girl: Say again, sir?
Me: I already spend less than you are offering me.
Girl: How much do you pay a month, sir?
Me: X-4 dollars.
[pause]
Girl: Hmmm, yes, it looks like you already have a better deal. Thanks for your attention, sir. <click>

Apparently her script didn’t have an answer for that.
