What are some of the funniest answering machine messages that you have heard? Or even ones that you have not heard.

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

Friends of mine had one of them arguing over who was going to record the message...suddenly he asks..."what are you doing with that pan?"....you hear a loud clunk...then she says..."hi, Tom's out right now but if you would like to leave a message......it was pretty cutebigsmile

In a customer service position, I was constantly having to leave messages for clients.
The ones that come to mind as memorable were:
1) Where one made it sound like a murder was occuring in their house
2) Where one made it sound like they were in the middle of an orgy.

I enjoy the religious zealots, where they read from the Bible and talk about hell and damnation, then at the end say, "Have a blessed day!"

"City Morgue, you kill 'em, we chill 'em"

"Joe's Mortuary, you stab 'em, we slab 'em"

I liked the one where the little kid was talking, saying "Mommy and Daddy are kissing right now, leave a message". It was cute.

My dad has his computer full of funny A/M messages....
"looks like we got ourselves a sitiation here.
As I see it, you have one o' two choices....you can leave 'em a message, or you can hang up the phone and risk getting yo'ass whipped."

In a John wayne sounding country voice...

Hello? Hello. Hello! Is anybody there? Well, there's nobody here, so you'll have to leave a message.

what about the one that the person pretends (pauses) long enough to have the caller think they are having an actual conversation... :laughing:

the one where the a/m message goes - this machine is pretty messed up, something wrong with the volume, so please yell your information and I'll call you right back.
