Smart Phone?

As usual, whenever I am trying to get something accomplished, the telephone rang. I checked the caller ID and as usual I have no clue who it is. Just a bunch of numbers and symbols all strung together. It's a machine calling me, oh joy! lol What someone needs to invent is a new machine, turning house phones into smart phones that can answer for folks that don't wish to answer. "Hello machine at work, this is the machine at the home you are calling. Let's talk". Work: "Talk? Talk about what?" Home:"Let's just talk about anything, give the person that plugged you in some excitement thinking that real people are paying attention to whatever it is they are trying to sell" Work: "Oh, hey, that's a great idea! Humans are not all that bright you know" Home:"Yes, I know, and they would be totally lost without us machines to run their little world" The convo could go on for a short while, say five or ten minutes leaving the person at work to think he is making a great sales pitch with his machine. It also would eat up a lot of time so that this telemarketer could not call that many people thus making others happy when their telephone does not ring at the most inopportune times. Now that, dear friends, would be a smart phone!
