Jon Carroll, (retired) columnist for the S.F. Chronicle, used to deal with telemarketers by asking if they could "hold on for a moment," then putting the phone down and going back to cooking dinner or whatever he was doing ... his rationale for guiltlessness was that "a moment is, you know, a Zen kind of thing, and means different things to different people." |
