These are actual answering machine answers recorded and verified by the world famous
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. Speak.
4. Hi. Now you say something.
5. Hi. I'm not at home right now, but my answering machine is, so you can talk to it instead.
Wait for the beep.
6. Hello. I'm David's answering machine. What are you?
7. (From Japanese friend) He-lo! This is Santo. If you leave message, I call you soon. If you
leave "sexy message," I call you 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 charity through
their office and do not need their pictures 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 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 at home cleaning our weapons right now and can't answer
the phone. Otherwise, we probably aren't home and it is 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.
