10 . 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.

9. Hello, you are talking to a machine. I am capable of receiving
messages. My owners do not need siding, windows or a tub,and their carpets
are clean. They give to charity at the office and don't need their picture
taken. If you're still with me, leave your name and home phone number and
they will get back to you.

8. This is not an answering machine - this is a telepathic
thought-recording device. After the tone, think about your name, your
number, and your reason for calling.... and I'll think about returning
your call.

7. 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.

6. 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 bank, 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 LOTS of money.

5. A is for academics, B is for beer. One of those reasons is why we're
not here. So, leave a message.

4. Hello! If you leave a message, I'll call you soon. If you leave a"sexy"
message, I'll call sooner.

3. Hi. Now YOU say something.

2. Hi. I'm 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.

And the Number 1 Actual Answering Machine Message Recorded and Verified by The World Famous International Institute of Answering Machine Messages.

1. Hello, you've reached Jim and Sonya. We can't pick up the phone right
now, because we're doing something we really enjoy. Sonya likes doing it
up and down, and I like doing it left to right... real slowly. So leave a
message, and when we're done brushing our teeth, we'll call you back

How about mine? "Howdy! We're busy watching cartoons right now, but if you leave a message at the beep, we'll try to call
you back during a commercial....Bye!"

It's been a long time since I last listened to my own voice mail message so I can't remember exactly how it goes. I have people calling just to listen to it though. Some of it goes... "You've reached the mental health hotline...if you are paranoid we know who you are and we know where you are at..." :)

It's long enough. It tells you to press 1, 2 etc... I just can't remember all of it right off. The last time I listened to it myself was 3-4 yrs ago.

I try not to listen to myself either.:tehe:
As long as the wife listens to you you're good to go!:thumbsup:

Seriously though it would be nice if you had unlimited time recording a message on the machine. The caller would get tired of waiting for the beep and just hang up.:grr:
