Additional contact information.
Jaycatt's post reminded me of a conversation I enjoyed the other day at work. A sales rep from a company that isn't very good called me while I was a little busy looking at lasers on the internet:

Him: "I'm XXXX from XXXX. Just calling around our customers collecting additional contact information."
Me: "Mmm-hmm."
Him: "Have you got a fax number?"
Me: "Are you going to send us promotional faxes?"
Him: "Yes."
Me: "Then I don't have a fax machine."

It gets better.

Him: "Do you have an email address?"
Me: "Are you going to send me spam?"
Him: "No."
Me: "Are you going to send me amazing promotion details?"
Him: "I believe that's the idea."
Me: "I don't have a computer."

Lasers?
Was it the Spyder III Pro Arctic? I want one of them bad boys!

Actually...
...it was, but I bought an executive 35mw instead. It's my first laser and I want to start light (pun intended).

Oh yes
though I would probably blind myself, knowing me

Freaking LASERS!
Ahem. Good idea.

I stick it to market researchers in a similar way, except with less questions.
"Do you have 2 minutes to spare for a short study?"
"No."
