Bring on the Do Not Call List

I got an exceptionally infuriating call from a telemarketer this morning.
It went something like this:

Him:
wakes me up at 8 a.m. on a Saturday

Me:
grunt

Him:
Mister Benjamin, you don't make many long distance phone
calls from home, is that correct?

Me:
Yeah

Him:
So your phone bill is what, $10-15 a month?

Me:
Something like that

Him:
Do you qualify for Lifeline [government-subsidized phone
service]?

Me:
no

Him:
So your income is pretty good?

Me:
mumble something while trying to shake the early-morning
cobwebs out of my brain

Him:
So you could afford to pay $49 a month for MCI Neighborhood
and get unlimited local and long distance phone service...
