OOOOOh I must remember your parting shot, that sounds like a fun way to wind up my next wind up.

My latest caller had to repeat every single thing he said over, and over again due to my 'very bad line'. I kept apologising and asking him to bear with me. I kept him going for nearly half an hour before I got bored.
