I made a phone call this morning to rent a room. I got an answering machine message, there were 2 little girls singing an X-mas song asking you to leave message. It was funny and I called 3 times in a row just to listen to the little girls singing.
I finally left a message:" Hi, I'm XXX. I'm have some questions regarding the room for rent. Please give me a call at ###-####. BTW, don't you think it is a little too early for X-mas, gilrs?"

My answering machine message never changed in years: Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeee leave a message.

The old one I made for my dorm kicked ass :D

&quot;Hello. You have reached Stromfield Nuclear Power Generation and Nuclear Supplies. To order reactor linings, fuel rods, or cooling tower parts, press one. For dumping of toxic waste, press two. To initiate Zone 4 reactor environmental leakage, press three. For all other calls, please wait for the beep and leave a message so we can return your call as soon as possible.&quot;

My mom called 16 times the first time I put it up, and I'd get maybe 1 message out of every 30 calls. Most of them were like this...

&quot;*Dial pad tone* Hello? Uh... Chris.... Uh... Umm... Hello? *Dial pad tones* Umm.... *CLICK*&quot;

My favorite, and one I use sometimes:

Hello, I'm screening my calls because there's someone I do not want to speak with. Leave a message and if I don't call back, it is you.

Russ, NCNE

Hi! Dave's answering machine is broken. This is his refrigerator. If you'd like to leave a message, please speak very slowly, and I'll stick your message to myself with one of these magnets, and maybe he'll see it when he gets back...

My hubby made one of him slapping himself (he has a weird sense of humour, don't ask) and then said in this lispy voice &quot;As you can see, XXXX is busy. Please leave a message&quot;. Well, he thought he was funny and did not tell me about it, so my family would call and hear it. Funny thing was, the only person that called was a guy about a job he had applied for a month before. Needless to say, he did not get it. ;)
