the static.
Make up your own language. Speak it.
Make up a one word language. Speak it.
Say, "This phone line is for emergency use only. Do you have
an emergency?" If they say "Yes" say, "Please
state the nature of the emergency." Then insist that their
emergency isn't an emergency.
If they say "No" say, "I'm sorry but this line is
for emergencies only."

to release the hostages.
