Hmmmm.... Do you have call waiting? Say somethin' like 'Hey hold up, i've got another call comin' in' after you switch, wait a sec, then go back to his convo and say its important and you gotta go? *shrugs* LOL, sorry... all i can think of at the moment  |

Put a pack of firecrackers right by the telephone, detonate them, scream "Ohmigod we're under fire!" then rip the phone cord out of the wall!... Yeah. -  |

In order to get rid of a boring person, I've actually gone and rang my own door bell and said oops, someones here, gotta go.  |

Well, we have two telephone lines inour house...so if it is a boring person or someone I dont want to talk to I just motion to my daughter who goes to the other phone line not in use and calls the number I'm on...the phone will beep and I say "I have to let you go gotta long distance call coming in" It works everytime.  |

And besides that I have call display on my line...which gives me the opportunity to either answer the call or ignore it and have it go to my voice mail.  |

Start acting like you're vomiting. Then say something like, "Oh, Lord! I think that was my spleen that just came out! I'll talk to you later."  |

Tell them that there is someone at the door! One day, we had a door to door salesman, and my husband answered the door. I called the house phone with my cell phone, and I told my husband that he was wanted on the phone!! LOL.  |

Ok this one worked on me..on several occasions. Hang up on him, or just lay the phone down beside the radio. Eventually he will get the idea. Normally by the third time he will get the idea.  |

Yell out something like: OMG! I forgot I had a pan of soup on the stove! Smoke is pouring out of the kitchen, gotta go! Also, what usually works very well is to just say you have a doctor/dental appointment, and you're running late already. Works for me.  |

Maybe you should try making the conversation Short N (not too) Sweet everytime he calls. :) He would get the message real soon.  |
