So now that everyone had a chance to make fun of my screen name, one that is accurate I am a lawyer in CT. I don’t do medical Malpractice cases so no CT scans in my files…
I suggest that none of you rely on Wikipedia for authoritative knowledge. Almost anyone can post or edit entries.
My discussion was based on actual experience having a Chinese child. I doubt there are many in the Coffee Room with such a child, but out of town it is not that unusual in the Jewish world to have one. In fact my rov recommended such an adoption as when marriage tome came around there could be no possibility of mamzerus. Only Chinese girls are available for adoption, never boys.
Now back to the telemarketers, My father Z”L taught me more than 50 years ago to simple say “I’m sorry we have no budget for that, thank you for calling, Goodbye….then hang up.”
No lies, no wasting the callers’ time and very polite.
I no full well the wrath of callers, especially at dinner time. I am currently running for local office, and we call voters from 6-8:15 PM. People are quick to yell into the phone that they are on the no-call list, however charities and politicos are exempt under the law. Also any company you have done business with in recent history may call you.
