Hi. This is John:
If you are the phone company, I already sent the money.
If you are my parents, please send money.
If you are my financial aid institution, you didn't lend me enough
money.
If you are my friends, you owe me money.
If you are a female, don't worry, I have plenty of money.

"Hi.... Now you say something."
--------------------------------------------
"Hi, I'm not home right now but my answering machine is, so you can talk to it instead. Wait for the beep."
-----------------------------------------
"Hello. I am David's answering machine. What are you?"
--------------------------------------------
(Narrator's voice:) There Dale sits, reading a magazine.Suddenly the telephone rings! The bathroom explodes into a veritable maelstrom of toilet paper, with Dale in the middle of it, his arms windmilling at incredible speeds! Will he make it in time? Alas no, his valiant effort is in vain. The bell hath sounded. Thou must leave a message.
----------------------------------------
Hi! John's answering machine is broken.This is his refrigerator. Please speak very slowly, and I'll stick your message to myself with one of these magnets."
---------------------------------------
"Hello, this is Sally's microwave.Her answering machine just eloped with her tape deck, so I'm stuck with taking her calls. Say, if you want anything cooked while you leave your message, just hold it up to the phone.
---------------------------------------
Hello, you are talking to a machine. I am capable of receiving messages. My owners do not need siding, windows, or a hot tub, and their carpets are clean. They give to charity through their office and do not need their picture taken. If you're still with me, leave your name and number and they will get back to you."
----------------------------------------
"This is not an answering machine - this is a telepathic thought-recording device. After the tone, think about your name, your reason for calling, and a number where you can reach you, and I'll think about returning your call."
---------------------------------------
"Hi. I am probably home, I'm just avoiding someone I don't like. Leave me a message, and if I don't call back, it's you."
---------------------------------------
"Hi, this is George. I'm sorry I can't answer the phone right now. Leave a message, and then wait by your phone until I call you back."
----------------------------------------
"You're growing tired. Your eyelids are getting heavy. You feel very sleepy now. You are gradually losing your willpower and your ability to resist suggestions. When you hear the tone you will feel helplessly compelled to leave your name, number, and a message."
