The other day, I was at Home Depot, and noticed a jigsaw. I immediately thought of @Cervaise 's awesome takedown of a telemarketer, all the way back in 2000: > [@The Telemarketer Speaks. I Respond.](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-telemarketer-speaks-i-respond/45861): > > In [this GD thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=49642&pagenumber=1), Claudia VonL replies to everyone who complains about telemarketers by posting one of the most asinine, poorly reasoned, incompetently written messages I’ve ever seen on the SDMB. And yes, that includes the infamous JDT, so that’s saying something. Posting a sufficiently complete response to her blather in its original forum would be a violation of Board policy – and so, for the first time in my nearly two years as a member, I’m starting a Pit thread in order to do her message … You’ll understand why jigsaws make me think of that thread if you read it. It is quite entertaining. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/blasts-from-the-sdmb-past/1031309)._
