Ok is anyone going to use these?

+---------- Bizarre Answering Machine Messages  -----------+  

Actual answering machine answers recorded and verified by  
the International Institute of Answering Machine Answers.  

1] 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.  

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

3] 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 financial aid institution, 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 plenty of money.  

4] "Hi. Now you say something."  

5] "Hi, I'm not home right now but my answering machine is,  
so you can talk to it instead. Wait for the beep."  

6] "Hello. I am David's answering machine. What are you?"  

7] (From Japanese friend) He-lo! This is Sa-to. If you leave  
message, I call you soon. If you leave *sexy* message, I  
call sooner!  

8] "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."  

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

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

11] "Hi. 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."  

12] "Hi, this is George. 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."  

13] "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."  

14] Please leave a message. However, you have the right to  
remain silent. Everything you say will be recorded and will  
be used by us.  

15] 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 get back to you.
