Telemarketers always use a script: why shouldn't you? (Junkbusters) -- "Every time you get a call you consider junk, just ask the questions in this script. If they answer no, you may be able to sue them. You can print copies of it to keep by every phone at home. If everyone follows it, the junk calls will slowly but surely drop off." (Comment: Also be sure to read How to dejunk your communications channels. Nice! At the same time, this is kind of depressing. It just makes it clear to me that we will continue to fight to clean up the communication channels for a long, long time.)

I bought a Telezapper. Very few calls get through now. When one does get through, I hang up. No more, "Sorry, I'm not interested." I just hang up.

And then there's always the three magic little words: "hold on, please"
