Wonderful! I'm going to try that tactic!

Enjoyed your dialogue. Easy to follow. The transition from the two on the phone to the man and his wife was clear.

Good fun story.

    Thank you! My Dad actually did this and probably a lot better than I told it!

Not much more annoying than continuously receiving phone calls from telemarketers.

Seems "Bill" turned the tables on this one good.

Touch of humor thrown in for good measure.

That's funny! Bravo to anyone who can out-talk and outsmart those telemarketers! This dialog only contest is a perfect context for a conversation like that. I didn't think they sold aluminum siding anymore.

Hah a haha...now I have an idea of how to handle the next scammer who calls. Once I started asking a guy questions about my computer and about if he spayed and neutered his pets. He didn't hang up, but he got off the phone pretty quickly.

You did a nice job on the dialogue. Considering it's an entry in the dialogue only contest, that's probably a good good thing.

Good job.

I'm not quite sure what aluminium siding is, but the salesman exudes enthusiasm about it - and to such an extent that he doesn't see the danger signs! It's good sport stringing them along for a bit, even if it does mean the dinner's getting cold. I guess that proud wife of yours can always pop it into the microwave. Just one typo to fix: "I don't thing(think) aluminum siding will work for me."
