(yeah, right!)


My wife and I can't come to the phone right now, but if you'll leave your name and number, we'll get back to you as soon as we're finished.
A is for academics, B is for beer. One of those reasons is why we're not here. So leave a message.
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.
(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. 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?”
(From a Japanese man in Toronto) He-lo! This is Sa-to. If you leave message, I call you soon. If you leave “sexy” message, I call sooner!
“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 taking her calls. Say, if you want any- thing 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 sliding, 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 I 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.”
