Do you want telemarketers out of your life? With the MK-41 Phone Butler, you might be able to accomplish that.

The Phone Butler is easy to use, and its functionality is what makes it such a great addition to any home. When you receive a call from a telemarketer offering you a "free" trip to Florida or a subscription to Modern Beekeeping, you press the star (*) button on your telephone and let the Butler do the dirty work. A prerecorded message says the Butler has been directed by you to decline the inquiry and to place the telemarketer's number on the do-not-call list. It then ends the call with a far-too-polite "Good day."

Installing the Phone Butler couldn't be easier: Just plug the beige box between the phone jack and your phone, and enjoy junking all of those annoying calls. The device is powered by the phone line.

The MK-41 is a lifesaver for anyone who is tired of dealing with some of the most annoying people in the world. And for $34.95, you will reap the benefits for years to come. As for the message it reads, though, I'd prefer something a bit tougher: "Hey, loser! Quit callin' me!"
