Ha.. That made me think of my brother in law who, when he gets some
sort of Spam call, he keeps them on the line as long as possible
just to waste their time and resources. He makes it sound like he
is going to give them banking info or whatever but, he's having a
hard time finding it.. it's here somewhere.. He often keeps them on
the line for 30 or 40 minutes before they get fed up and hang up..
