More often than not, if I'm about to make a purchase from a store that's going to ask me my phone number, I look up the store's own number before going through the checkout.

A similar trick, keep all the business cards people give you - even if they are annoying prats.
When accosted by an insurance salesman, jehovas witness or some other pushy twerp trying to peddle some sh*t pretend to be interested, tell them you're too busy and hand them one of those business cards from the above stack of prats - ask them to call you later. Also handy when security guards/rent-a-cops trying to be in-charge want ID, say you lost/left it behind, offer them one of 'your' cards - "that's me, sorry, gotta get moving, meeting the big boss.".
Tip: Check the name before handing it over - if it says say 'Peter' say, "here's my card, just call me Pete" - that extra 'friendliness' makes it more credible.
If you get too many cards, look for those 'drop your card here' jars to off load a few, i.e. Amex, AT&T, Gay Pride, Nuke the Whales ....

I think I now know what to do with the 498 (out of 500) business cards one of my previous employers had made for me (despite me telling him I don't need them as a non-travelling developer type).

A few minutes ago Mickeysoft wanted to make sure that they had my current phone number, just in case they wanted to talk to me about something. I gave them the number of the not entirely cheap 'Hot Mature Ladies Live' hotline.
Have a heart and let the marketing drones have some fun too.

I walked into the bathroom while Kathy was in the shower, and asked her if she wanted me to wash her back.
A simple yes or no would have been enough, but she had to go and ruin the mood by screaming and yelling, "Who are you and how did you get in my house?!"

It's not a 'no', so by means of elimination, only 'yes' remains.

Binary logic then. Only 0 can mean false, whereas anything else means yes.

That's not binary logic. A convention from C (or maybe even before that) at best. Just ask the VB troop and they will tell you that 1 means true and a absolutely natural -1 means false.

Ah, I see you have the machine that goes ping. This is my favorite. You see we lease it back from the company we sold it to and that way it comes under the monthly current budget and not the capital account.

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

The coat won't save him either.

Oh, well - if you are going to include technology then Wonder Woman has her jet so she's OK, Green Lantern has his Ring and that'll make him a rocket, but Steve Austin is toast since his top speed was about 60mph.

Steve Austin was an astronaut. It's their job to be faster than a bullet.

Only in his early career. He later became a ... I'm not quite sure what he was, but bad spy probably covered it.
