"Ahhh yes.. (good start).. well, we've tried experimenting with chicken poop, cat urine soaked pillows and ammonia ridden duvets, but todate... no luck, I'm afraid.." 
Silence.... looooooooooooooooong silence...
"Um.. is it my hubs you're wanting to bend the ear off?" 
*Nervous chuckle*
"Um, well no, not really, he left his details with us and I'm just phoning to get your permission to use the details..."
"But you phoned us..." 
"Well yes, to get your permission"
"But...but.. you used our details without permission to phone us..."
Silence...
"Um yes I did, but I'm asking permission now to use your details to find you the best quote.."
"Don't you think we're capable then, off finding a quote?"
Silence.... file nails whilst waiting....
"NOOooooo, no of course you are, I'm sure you are... umm....."
"Okidoke, tara then!"
