   Ha.. That made me think of my brother in law who, when he gets some   
   sort of Spam call, he keeps them on the line as long as possible   
   just to waste their time and resources. He makes it sound like he   
   is going to give them banking info or whatever but, he's having a   
   hard time finding it.. it's here somewhere.. He often keeps them on   
   the line for 30 or 40 minutes before they get fed up and hang up..
