LOL, yeah I meant Moshi moshi. But when I watch "Slow Dance" on channel 26 on Sunday night, it sounded like mushi mushi.

Me at work: This is bob
Me at home: what

Home: Hello Hollis Residence

Cell: Whats Up X? Where X is the name on my caller ID, unless it is unknown.. in which case it is a very curious 'Hello'

Most of the times it's "Hello" or "Yo" but if I have sufficient time to look at the caller ID Ill come up with something clever like "Hello, pizza pizza"
