The following are 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 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.Hello! If you leave a message, I'll call you soon. If you leave a "sexy" message, I'll 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 of your name, your number and your reason for calling, and I'll think about returning your call.

11. 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.

12. Hi, this is George. I'm sorry I can't answer the phone right now. Leave a message and then wait by the 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 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 and right...real slowly. So leave a message, and when we're done brushing our teeth, we'll get back to you.

(I haven't actually heard of this institution, but my mum sent these to me and I thought they were pretty funny.)

Here's one that I did on my mom's answering machine before she noticed:

Hello? (wait 3 seconds) How are you? (wait 1-2 seconds) We obviously can't or wont come to the phone right now but please leave your name, number, and message after the beep, thanks.

If you're calling about the car, I sold it
If this is Tuesday night I'm bowling
If you got something to sell you're wasting your time
I'm not buying
If its anybody else wait for the tone you know what to do and
P.S. if this is Austin I still love you....

"P.S. This is Austin" - Brad Paisley

Best one I've heard, ever.

I use to have one most of my friends liked on my old phone.

Hey, there are 3 reasons I have answered my phone;
1. I'm in class
2. I'm sleeping
3. I just don't like you
Leave a message, if I don't call back, it was number 3.

I use to piss my grandparents off with:

Hello???.... He-lo-ooo.... Are you there?.... I'm sorry... I can't hear you.... Do you think you can speak up a bit???... ok... we're not here right now. If you'd like to leave your name and number, we'll get back to you as soon as we can.

I like to use the technologically impared message:

"his thing on? How the hell do you leave a voice recording with this stupid thing? Why won't it work? DAMN IT! I COMMAND YOU TO WORK! AAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHH *beep*

We had a power outage awhile back and our phone lost the greeting we had recorded. As a result my family would leave messages like, "Uhhhh...hello? Are you there? That doesn't sound like you. I'll try again." They would try again, get the auto message of the electronic voice saying, "Please leave a message." and do the same thing. This was understandable for about a week, but after a month I still had not recorded a new greeting, figuring everyone was used to the voice by now. They weren't.

My sister finally pushed me over the edge the other day when she called confused three times and couldn't figure out how I called her and then wasn't home. Her husband failed to mention I called from my cellphone! Anyway, my new message is:

"Hello, this is me. If you know me, you should recognize my voice. You called me, so you should know who me is. If you do not know who me is and who me lives with then please stopping we. If you do know us, leave a message and we'll call you back."

At least now the telemarketers think I'm mentally unstable.

I found it!!!!
George's Answering Machine: "Believe it or not, George, isn't at home, please leave a mes-saaage at the beep. I must be out or I'd pick up the pho-one. Where could I be? Believe it or not, I'm not hooome."

This is the message from "Seinfeld" I was talking about!!!
