My answering machine now has the COOLEST message ever...

[Pierre.Suave]

Sadly, most of you will never be able to hear it...:(

[flvegan]

1. I heard it ends with "I'm John McCain, and I approve this message."

[Pierre.Suave]

2. It should...

damnit that's an even better idea...

:rofl:

[krispos42]

21. ...

John McCain: Hi, you've reached jasonc. I'm off on Democratic Underground right now, creating havoc in the Lounge. Please leave a message at the beep. I'm John McCain and I approved this message. Okay, am I done?

Anonymous Aide: No Senator, you didn't press the button.

JM: What button?

AA: That button. The stop button.

JM: This one?

AA: Yes sir.

JM: Okay are we ready?

AA: It's recording now.

JM: Now?

AA: It's still recording.

JM: What happens when I push the button?

AA: It stops recording Senator. I think...

JM: I doubt it, sonny.

AA: Sir, the message is ruined. We have to do it again.

JM: Again? But... wait, I'm confused.

AA: Here, let's stop this and try again-

<smack>

AA: Ow!

JM: You don't touch the button! That's MY button!

AA: I'm bleeding!

JM: Quit whining, pansy! Let's get this done.

AA: We have to start over from the beginning, Senator.

JM: Forget it, we'll do it live.

AA: Live? This isn't a TV-

JM: I SAID WE'LL DO IT LIVE!!!

<beeeeeeeeeeeeeeep>

3. Wait for the beep. You gotta leave your name. You gotta leave your number

or is it "Don't copy that floppy"

[Pierre.Suave]

4. Actually

it is a normal Hello? Followed by an, I cant hear you, can you speak up? Still cant hear you, ah hell you may as well just leave a message cuz I aint here anyway...

:P

[latebloomer]

14. Ooh, that's maddening!

My daughter's cell phone message starts out with a long, extended (Helllo?) so you think it's her in person. Then a pause, then, brightly- "Leave a message!" Fooled me at least the first 5 times- started talking to her like an idiot.

[Danger Mouse]

6. "Don't copy that floppy" would be too cool for all of existence.

[dolo amber]

19. !!!

Don't copy that floppy... :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

I thought I was the only person in the world who remembered that. :D

[DS1]

5. that's

[Lil Missy]

7. Mine used to say:

"I can't come to the door right now, so leave a beep after the sound of the message. And call me back as soon as you can!"

It really fucked up a lot of heads, LOL!

[Pierre.Suave]

9. HAHA

thats awesome!

[Lil Missy]

11. Thanks. I'll be here all week.

:hi:

[Richard Steele]

8. Second coolest.

Ain't tellin'.

[LostInAnomie]

10. I had a friend that was highly recruited by pro-baseball scouts in high school...

... so he was receiving calls from recruiters non-stop (like 25 calls a day). One night, we thought it would be funny to change his answering machine to where it just said "Hello.... .... ... 'BEEP'". Then we just sat around an waiting for the calls to come in. The recruiters would call in and hear the "Hello" then start talking, "Hi, Jeff. I'm Dan from the Chicago Cubs... "BEEP" ... Awwww!!!...".

It was good for quite a few laughs.

[RushIsRot]

12. Mine says:

446-2xx2. This is you-know-who. I'm probably you-know-where.
Leave your you-know-what, you know when!

[FloridaJudy]

13. "Bates Hotel: Norman isn't here

This is his mother. Leave a message at the beep. I'm in the shower".

[TZ]

15. No the coolest ever

was a friend of mine whose two cats managed to hit "record" on her answering machine while in the middle of a cat fight and so her outgoing message was a series of hisses growls and yowls....:rofl:

[mwooldri]

16. The number you have dialed is not in service.

Please check the number and dial again.

Yeah! Put the BT Lady on as your answerphone message.

Or the Speaking Clock.

[BarbaRosa]

17. Ours once said

You've reached XXX-XXXX, we're not in right now so leave a message, and we will get back to you just as soon as we feel like it.

[MrCoffee]

18. Mine used to say "Don't bother." click. beep.

[asthmaticeog]

20. You still have an answering machine?

Way to make the bold leap into the 1970s.

I'll bet you still like that Rupert Holmes song, huh?

[Pierre.Suave]

23. yeah

It is on the base of the unit, a digital voicemail thing. It records messages for me when I am away from home.


:eyes:

[asthmaticeog]

29. Most people nowadays have their messages stored on the phone company side, is all.

Haven't heard of anyone having a unit in his home in quite awhile. :shrug:

[La Lioness Priyanka]

30. people have home phones? i mean, people who are not my mother?

that in itself is shocking. :P

[asthmaticeog]

31. No lie: my mom's home phone still has a DIAL on it.

:bounce:

[La Lioness Priyanka]

32. as does my grandmothers in india. so frustrating.

[DS1]

22. Actually, ~~~I~~~ Just figured out the coolest message for Nerds

The loop tape from the French woman on LOST.

[Pierre.Suave]

24. I have no idea what that is

so I guess that means I am not a nerd...

[LaurenG]

25. Well what's your phone number?

We can't call you if you don't tell us your number! ;)

[Pierre.Suave]

26. Exactly...

[Pierre.Suave]
