1. Hi. If you are a burglar, checking to see if anyone is home, then we're probably at home cleaning our weapons right now and can't come to the phone. Otherwise, we probably aren't at home and it's safe to leave us a message.
2. Hi. I'm home right now, I'm just screening my calls. So start talking and if you're someone I want to speak with I'll pick up the phone. Otherwise, well, what can I say?
3. Hi. I'm 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.
4. Roses are red, some willows weep, please leave your message, after the beep
5. We might be in, we might be out, but leave a message and you might find out!
6. Talk to the phone, the face ain't home, please leave a message, after the tone. BEEP!
7. Now I lay me down to sleep; Leave a message at the beep. If I should die before I wake, remember to erase the tape.
8. Being reincarnated as an answering machine is the pits. Keep your karma clean by leaving your name, number, message, and the time that you called.
9. Bob here. I'm home right now, I'm just screening my calls. So start talking and if you're someone I want to speak with I'll pick up the phone. Otherwise, well, what can I say?
10. Hello, epicenter of the Universe, God speaking. If you leave your name, number, and prayer after the tone, I will call you back as soon as I can. Please note that I answer all prayers, but sometimes the answer is NO. Bless you, my child, and have a nice day.
11. Hello, we are unable to come to the phone right now. Please leave your name and number unless of course you are a salesman or trying to solicit money.
12. Hello. I'm David's answering machine. What are you?
13. Hi! Jan'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.
Oh! I'd like to try one of these novel messages on my machine! Esp. the 3rd one!

:D
OMG this is soooo funny. Happy TT
ReplyDeleteLoved them. Makes me want to go out and buy an answerphone.
ReplyDeleteI love the fridge one with the magnet, lol! I don't use the answering service offered for free by our telephone company, maybe I should!! just to use one from your list.
ReplyDeleteI am back with a pile of laundry and lots to do, that's why I am blogging :)
In silly moments, I've actually used #13!
ReplyDeleteOhmygosh ... those are FUNNY!!! I'm not sure which I like best because each appeals to a different part of me. Number 13 will have me chuckling a while methinks. Thanks for dropping by my WW at Sacred Ruminations to let me know your T-13 was up. I'm off to my PSE6 class in a little while and that's why I post my T-13 early these days.
ReplyDeleteHugs and blessings,
Those are cute... but DH said since we use our phone for business.. he thought we wouldn't do it .... lol.....have a great Thursday
ReplyDeleteMine: Speak in rhyme if you're so inclined. Leave a clue if you do.
ReplyDeleteAnd this one: I'm in the past and your in the present. If you leave a message I'll get back to you in the future.
We used to try to come up with clever messages when we were in college. Now, I struggle just to figure out how to get my messages, much less be creative with the answer. :)
ReplyDeleteI can't get over number 1....that had me laughing so hard...too, too good Gatttina.
ReplyDeleteHehehe these are great, especially that cartoon!! Happy TT and thank you for stopping by earlier :) Some of those kids books may be translated to other languages. Here in Canada many are both English, and French :)
ReplyDeletecute messages!
ReplyDeleteThose are all great and I have used ones similar to #2&3 before. :) Too funny!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun list. I might have to give one of these a whirl! LOVE your header btw!!! I am a big-time cat lover.

ReplyDeleteI love 12!
ReplyDeleteHappy TT!!
Roses are red, some willows weep, please leave your message, after the beep
ReplyDeleteI LOVE THIS ONE!
I may just have to steal these! maybe I'll rotate them with the season! ;)
ReplyDeleteI used to put on weird pieces from movies. People still left a message
Oh this is too funny!!!!
ReplyDeletehaha - you can say it.
ReplyDeleteWhy not try this one:
- Thanks for calling
- It's important for us that you did call right now.
- We are a planning a Waterloo.
- Will you be Napoleon?
ROFL! I used to leave silly messages like that all the time! Then I went to work. Figured I better leave something respectable in case I didn't catch the phone when they called! LOL! Now I should go back to something like that... hmmmm... #s 12 & 13 are really striking my fancy! *g*
ReplyDeleteLMAO...OMG, those are so funny!! Great list. Thanks for the list and for stopping by:)
ReplyDeleteNo. 13 was a great finale!
ReplyDeleteI love the answering machine theme!! I laughed a lot. Thanks for a good laugh.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun, Gattina! Love No. 6!
