Joe,

 JM>   I love how quick they hang up when I answer, in an authoritative
 JM> voice, "Lt Mackey speaking".  Silence.  I repeat that and "click"
 JM> they're gone.  I have the power to get telemarketers to hang up on me!
 JM> :)

  Rank has its privileges, sir. <G>

 JM>   A co-worker said he wished he could do that and I said merely answer
 JM> with officer/sergeant so-and-so.

  If it was with Trade Wars 2002, it'd be "Fleet Admiral". <G>

 JM>   In the late '90s I worked one winter for a survey company.  We
 JM> weren't selling anything, but asking about products and services,
 JM> sometimes businesses.

  I worked for a survey firm many years ago.

 JM>    I got a fella one time who was drinking at the time and the more we
 JM> talked the more he drank and he was pretty sloshed when we finally
 JM> finished.  I could hear the sounds of ice cubes put in yet another
 JM> glass, his pouring whatever, sipping, etc.

  As W.C. Fields noted "Inflation has gone up over a dollar a quart",
and "Someone left the cork out of my lunch". <G>
