Can't Read (again)

So I'm sitting in my apartment today and the phone rings... it was one of those rings where you just know who is on the other side... a telemarketer. I put on my game face, and said hello...


M == Me
T == Telemarketer

M: Hello
T: Hello, this is the New York Times, (BLAH BLAH BLAH) would you like
   the NYT delivered directly to you home for only $9.99 a month?
M: That's a paper or something, right?
T: Yes sir, for only $9.99 a month you could get it delivered
   daily to your home mailbox.
M: That seems a bit much.
T: $9.99 is over 40 percent off the news stand price.
M: How difficult is the reading?
T: Excuse me?
M: How difficult is the reading, I'm just learning to read
   and don't want to get frustrated with hard words.
T: Well, it's not that hard.  I'm sure you could get it.
M: Do you have one handy?
T: No, not right here.
M: Bummer, I was hopping you could read a paragraph or two so I
   could see how it was written.
T: I'm sorry sir, would you still be interested in the subscription?
M: Hmmm... I'm not sure, can I think about it?  Can I call you back?
T: We have a phone number that you can call us back on, but I can't
   guarentee you the $9.99 price if you don't act now.
M: I hate pressure
T: I'm not trying to pressure you here.
M: I think I'll pass on this one
T: O.k., if you have any questions or concerns feel free to call
   1-800-???-????
