What are issues, exactly?
Regular releases of printed media.

How about "Can I ask you a question?"
Hey, schmuck, you just did.

Or, its cousin - "Can I ask a stupid question?"
"Like no one else I know."

Perfect response. I'll have to remember that one.

I have a frequent caller (calls multiple times per day).

Now, I don't have to talk to her ... she's in another county, but there are two staff members who DO speak to her and ruin it for the rest of us. Most of the time she recognizes my voice and just hangs up when I answer the phone.

Every now and again, she tries testing the waters, just in case something has changed.

She doesn't even say "hello." Just leads right off with "Can I ask you a question?"

"No."

Pretty simple really.

One of the guys who does speak to her occasionally starts off by torturing her with the can vs. may discussion, but she's borderline retarded and doesn't get it anyway.
