When you are retired and on Medicare then you get hassled by people wanting to sell you a supplementry package.
I got through the artificial intelligence introduction and actually got through to a real live human being. I got the introductory speil and then he asked me if I had Medicare Part A and Part B.
"I'm incarcerated. The state takes care of me," I said and he sounded shocked.
"But you have a telephone," he said.
"Yeah, I know but it can only take incoming calls." I said. "When the warden found out I was doing time for murdering a telemarketer he gave me the phone because he doesn't like telemarketers either."
I figured he's have hung up by now but either he was a newbie, a gutton for punishment or just pain bored.
"What did they give you?" he asked.
"I got a year less almost three months for time served. I'll be out in a couple of months." I said. "The judge doesn't like telemarketers, either. He tried to get the DA to reduce the charge to disorderly conduct and let me skate with a $25 fine."
"I'll put you on the do not call list," he said.
"I'd appreciate it," I said and he hung up.
