You have reached the CPX-2000 Voice Blackmail System. Your 
voice patterns are now being digitally encoded and stored 
for later use. Once this is done, our computers will be able 
to use the sound of YOUR voice for literally thousands of 
illegal and immoral purposes. There is no charge for this 
initial consultation. However our staff of professional 
extortionists will contact you in the near future to further 
explain the benefits of our service, and to arrange for your 
schedule of payment. Remember to speak clearly at the sound 
of the tone. Thank you.

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.

-----------

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

(Very fast:) Hi, this is 904-4344. If you want to leave a 
message, please wait for the tone. If you want to leave your 
name and number, please press pound, press 3, then dial your 
name, then press 6 and dial your number. If you want to 
leave your name and just a message, press star, press 6, ask 
for extension 4443, then leave your name and message. If you 
want to leave your number and the time you called, please 
press star twice, spin in a circle, press 1 twice, talk loud 
and (BEEP)

I can't come to the phone now, so if, well, actually, I CAN 
come to the phone now, I mean, like, I'm at the phone NOW, 
recording this message, but I'm doing this NOW, while you're 
listening to it LATER, except for you I guess it's NOW, 
like, when you're listening to it ... I mean, like, wait, 
gosh. This is so confusing.

-----------

This is the Literacy Self Test Hotline. After the tone, 
leave your name and number, and recite a sentence using 
today's vocabulary word. Today's word is "supercilious."

-----------

Greetings, you have reached the Sixth Sense Detective 
Agency. We know who you are and what you want, so at the 
sound of the tone, please hang up.

-----------

I can't come to the phone now because alien beings are 
eating my brain. Leave a message anyway, and after the alien 
beings assume my shape, one of them will get back to you.

(Rod Sterling imitation:) You're 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 device ... You have reached, 
"The Twilight Phone."

----------

Thank you for calling 967-7013. If you wish to speak to 
Keith, push 1 on your touch tone phone now. If you wish to 
speak to Sally, push 2 on your touch tone phone now. If you 
have a wrong number, push 3 on your touch tone phone now. 
All of this button pushing doesn't do anything, but it is a 
good way to work off anger, and it makes us feel like we 
have a big-time phone system.

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.

Hi. I'm probably home. I'm just avoiding someone I don't

you.
