The last cold-caller I got, the conversation went along the lines of:

Salesman: Hello, I'm from <X>, we deal in double-glazing, are you available to talk?

Me: Yes, I was considering having my windows done......oh, hold on, there's someone at the door, would you mind waiting just 5 seconds while I answer it?

Salesman: That's fine.

Me: Okay, thanks, I'll just pop you on hold, won't be a moment.

*places phone next to stereo-speaker, and pops on an MP3 on "repeat"*

The salesman waited three entire repetitions of the song before he hung up!
