A while back, some guy came to the door trying to sell something. The interaction went something like this:
*knock knock*
A: Just a second!
*I scramble for some clothes*
A: Hello?
Salesman: Hi, I wanted to speak with R about you cable service. Is he home?
A: Yes.
S: May I speak with him?
A: No.
S: May I ask why?
A: No pants.
S: ... Oh. Um, thank you. Have a nice day.
A: You too.
See? Best answer ever.

HA!! I have a story JUST LIKE THAT!
It was about 13 or so years ago - we'd been living together for about a year, but it was before C and I were married - or even engaged at that point. It's a Saturday morning, he's in the shower and I'm putting laundry away. The phone rings:
ME: "Hello?"
TELEMARKETER: "Hello, may I speak to a Mr. Chili?"
"I'm sorry, he's in the shower just now. May I take a message?"
"Is this MRS. Chili?"
"No, Mrs. Chili is out of town. I'm his girlfriend - is there something I can do for you?"
"OH! Um....no, no, that's fine. I'll try back later...."
"Uh, huh. You do that. Bye, now!"
I was HOWLING with laughter. I didn't lie - I WAS just his girlfriend at the time and his mother, the only Mrs. Chili in the family, lives the next town over. It was so perfectly set up that I just couldn't resist.
