[After the =
success of Friday’s “Business Phone Messages” on the =
Grif Net blog, we decided to share some ideas for your HOME phone that =
we’ve tried.]
** Hi! Bob’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. Bob =
here. I’m home right now but cannot find my cell phone. Please leave a =
message and I will call you up as soon as I find it. IF I find =
it.
** Hi, this is =
Bob. I’m sorry I can’t answer the phone right now. Leave a message, and =
then wait by your phone until I call you back.
** Hey guess =
who this is? You guessed it. Guess what you have to do now? Yep, you =
guessed it. Now, guess what’s next? Wow. You guessed right =
again.
** Hello, you =
have reached the Griffin Family and we cannot come to the phone right =
now. Please leave your name, phone number, short message, social =
security number, and credit card number and we will call you when we’re =
done shopping.
** Hi. Bob =
here. 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.
** If you are =
a burglar, then we’re probably at home cleaning our weapons right now =
and can’t come to the phone. Otherwise, we probably aren’t home and it’s =
safe to leave us a message.
** (Rod =
Serling imitation:) You are dazed, bewildered, trapped in a world =
without time, where sound collides with color and shadows explode. You =
see a signpost up ahead — this is no ordinary telephone answering =
message. You have reached, "The Twilight =
Phone".
