When I'm in the mood I let them talk for a short bit, then tap the handset with my fingernail and ask "Did you get it?"
When they ask what I'm talking about I just say, "Not you, I'm talking to the phone company guy."
If they don't hang up by then I say, "Did I keep them on long enough to get a trace?"
That usually does it.
Sometimes I just pick it up and then set the receiver down and let them sit there.
Sometimes I ask them questions or just repeat what they say in a question back at them.
All kinds of fun right there.
