    Since my studio is in my home, and since my 13 yo dd also works with
    me, she often answers the phone.  My husband, bless his very strange
    sense of humor, finally came up with a way for her to deal with
    unwanted "spam" calls.  When they ask for her mother, she says, in a
    really strong Southern accent, "She done run off with the gardner and
    she ain't coming home no more, sir" - at which point they are
    speechless and then stammer something and hang up.  If they ask for
    her father she says "He ain't got out of jail yet, sir" - which has
    the same effect <vbg>.  Very nice to turn the tables! 

    I tell people that I do not do business on the phone, and they need
    to mail me whatever it is they want to talk about.  They never do.
