I only had to deal with a telemarketer once. This is mostly how it went:
"Hello?"
"Hi, is the father of this house home?
"Yes, but he is in his bedroom, and would not like to be disturbed."
"Ah, and your mother?"
"She is in there with him. They told me they wouldn't like to be disturbed in any way at all. Not even for an emergency. May I take a message?"
"Err, no. Thanks anyway."
"Okay. Buh-bye."
EDIT: HTML usually has to be turned on if you want something as simple as Italics....
