The force has a strong influence on the weak minded,  what you said 
reminds me of obi-wan from starwars talking to the stormtrooper.

anyway I think they got the message,  we had 3 calls in the same day
once,  the third time they got told to p*** off and i heard em saying
something as I slammed the phone down.

It is nice to have fun with these idiots though eh
