A few days ago my father and I took my mother out to dinner for her birthday, and she related this story that happened to her.
A telemarketer calls up and wants to sell her a loan.
- First the saleslady asks if my mother has any home debt. The answer is no.
- Then she asks if my mother has any car payments. No.
- Then she asks if there is any credit card debt. Nope.
- Then she asks if there is any debt at all. Nope, not one bit.
Finally the telemarketer replies in an angry voice, "Well, that's un-American!" and hangs up.
P.S. I just *love* cheesing off credit card sellers when I reply that not only don't I know my A.P.R., I don't *care* what it is, since I always pay the whole balance every time. There is simply no reply to that one.
