Revenge on the Telemarketers: Round One
Ever want to get even with all those telemarketers that have given you an unwelcome ring? Listening to this disc might provide a hilarious and vicarious sense of revenge. When professional phone peddlers make the mistake of giving Tom Mabe a call, he shows no mercy. One telemarketer asks to speak to the lady of the house and all Mabe has to do to get rid of her is say, "This is she." Mabe isn't afraid to push the envelope. The revenge artist unnerves one guy trying to sell carpet-cleaning services by asking him if he can remove a whole lot of blood and do it immediately. He manages to convince another telemarketer that she's been fired. And in what may be a case of going too far, he tells a dude trying to sell him a cemetery plot that he's feeling suicidal and goes on to concoct a very creepy scenario. There are plenty of good pranks here and Mabe is a master at turning the tables on people.--Fred Cisterna
