He is in the pit, with the snakes.
We have caller ID display on the telephone handsets here at the brainpan. Frequently, we get calls where the caller ID simply displays "Toll Free", at which point we're pretty sure it's a telemarketing call.
Today, I got one such call, and instead of ignoring it and letting the phone ring, I answered it and started into the "hee ees een the pit, weeth the snakes" bit, just to see if it would work.
It got them off the phone quickly, but it didn't play out for very long. I was kind of disappointed. I wanted to do the whole thing. It is, however, satisfying, to get them to hang up on me, rather than the other way around.
