Question

Fans recall Jerry's clever telemarketer scene where he asks for the caller's home number to call back, then turns the tables by pointing out how they wouldn't want unsolicited calls at home.

Ken,

I hope I can do this the justice it deserves!

The call was an offering on a long distance service (I am sure most here have gotten these!), and Jerry stated that he was too busy to talk right now. He asked for the callers home phone number so he could call back when he was not so busy. Listening to the reply (unheard) jerry says "Oh, so you don't like to get calls like that at home? Well neither do I." And he hangs up.

It actually went like this:

JERRY: "Hello?" TELEMARKETER: "Hi Would you consider switching over to TMI's Long Distance Service?" JERRY: "Oh Gee I can't talk right now why don't you give me your home number and I'll call you later." TELEMARKETER: "Uh I'm sorry were not aloud to do that." JERRY: "Oh I guess you don't want people calling you at home." TELEMARKETER: "Uh no" JERRY: "Now you know how I feel" (Click)

	Ever since seeing that episode I try to use the line whenever
	I get calls. One guy replied that he watch's seinfeld
	too and saw the episode. All I could do is laugh and
	hangup.

The last part was "...well now you know how I feel!" then he hung up the phone and went back to the conversation that was still going on in the background while he was on the phone. It was great! I'll have to try this next time I get a telemarketer on the phone!

I know it's not their fault - they are just trying to make a living. I'd like to get the phone number of the owner of the telemarketing firm! Now THAT would be revenge! ^^^^^^

Then you would've loved TV Nation, cancelled *way* too early last year on Fox. One of their regular bits was their "corporate revenge", where they would find the president of some company with annoying practices and return the favor to him. The telemarketer gag you speak of here was done, with *hilarious* results.

That one and the bit where they took a dumpster out to the home of the president of a trash collection company, and repeatedly banged the dumpster up and down on the street at 7:00 on a Sunday morning are the two that stick in my mind as the best.
