I don't recall that. but I DO recall a rather elaborate points based
game (1), posted to some newsgroup or another, that one could play with
telemarketers.

This:

is a rather watered down version with a lot of the best parts missing. I
can't remember them but I know they aren't there.

Note: telemarketers are people too. I think. So don't be TOO mean to
them, but do feel free to tell them that if they don't like what you're
doing to them they may want to consider another line of work.

1 - along the lines of Trolling for Taillights:

which is a classic point game. Note the author has a bit of an anti
yuppie bias but that's OK.
