I'm a secret agent for the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Whoops...Now I'm gonna have to kill you. Where did you say you lived again?" If that doesn't work, I make up elaberate (I can't spell that) stories that get more riducuous as they go on and then tell them to the person very seriously. Take this for example: "Hi, is Mr. Smith home?" "No, I'm sorry. He was run over by a drunk trucker last night." "I'm sorry." "Don't be. There's tons of men in the world!" (Now comes silence, followed by a click.) I find that this is always good:

This didn't work out too well when my mom was calling me for a week while on vacation in Bermuda and I never picked up. (She was using a public phone so my ID read it as "Unknown Caller" with no area code. -- sorry Mom!). But yeah, I let it go to voice mail, but I do like #7 and #9. I might have to pocket those for future use. I never answer if I don’t recognize the number.
