Ma'am, there is no one at this number connected with Medicare in any way.?ÿ Good day.
(Use this one about three or more times each day.?ÿ It doesn't stop them, but, at least, I feel that the poor shmoo at least views me as being polite.)
I don't own this house.
(Use this one a couple days per year for the poor shmoo calling to sell me some sort of siding.)
We just let ours run out into the lake.
(Use this one about once each year for the poor shmoo calling to sell me the MAGIC POTION that will cleanse my septic tank of all solid matter.)

We're booked for the next four months but could get to it next year (when the residential survey caller unloads about the neighbor).
My insurance carrier doesn't allow me to do residential surveys (when the residential survey caller unloads about the neighbor).
I'm dying of an incurable disease and dissolving the company (when the residential survey caller unloads about the neighbor).
@said-lot : "That sounds like a fun project! It will be my first survey and I'm looking foward to do it. I don't know what it will cost, but my buddies say it sounds like a $10,000 job!"

No....... Pause.......
Why?

Pause..........
Then I hang up.
Hello
No, Mr. Cow is not available but may be shortly. He took a magazine and disappeared into the restroom about 10 minutes ago. He'll surely have everything worked out soon.
Hello
(Listen to three minutes of the dumbest project ever conceived being offered to the low bidder)
Putting one finger sort of over the phone while yelling to imaginary co-workers......Hey guys. Gather round. Roy D. Mercer is trying to prank me with one of his standard crazy as $#it on a moose's tail stories about needing a survey done. Hurry, he may hang up if he knows we are on to him.
