Local's bizarre comeback leaves town in stitches

February 2009

PORTLAND, MAINE - In a stunning display of wit, Portland resident Jamie Lyle (25) responded to a telemarketer's unwanted call with a phrase that left the caller speechless. "I'd tell you to go f**k yourself, but I'm sure you'd be disappointed," Lee quipped, promptly ending the call.

The remark has since made news, with locals debating its cleverness. And in an unusual twist, Lyle received a bouquet of screws with a note that read "Courtesy of your fan" – creating unprecedented support for the telemarketer and his sense of humor.

Blast from the past!
