I’ll be a park and thou shalt be my deer.
Feed where thou wilt, on mountain or in dale:
Graze on my lips, and if those hills be dry,
Stray lower, where the pleasant fountains lie.
Poem by William Shakespeare, Venus and Adonis

To sleep
perchance to dream
……of 2?
I would like to dream of no telemarketers or junk mail. XOXO
I do hate machine answers…they suck…
I have used my fair share of greetings on voice mail. A friend of mine used to hire himself out for impersonations of Jack Kennedy, Bogart and others. A girl I knew who was a fashion model sang well. She belted out the song “I’m Sorry”: “I’m sorry/so sorry/ that I missed this oppor-tuuu-nity!/ (Speaks normally): Leave your name, number and a short message and I’ll call you back”. She was very proud to dial her phone number from the office where she was a receptionist so we could hear it on the speaker phone. Quite impressive. This was before “American Idol”.
Ha, You can’t leave…
We have been reliably informed that you are participating in the activity of breathing without having filed the requisite forms or paid the fees. Please be informed you are in arrears in the amount of $5 per diem multiplied by your full date of birth with retroactive penalty charges not to exceed 30% per 24 hours accruing quarterly until you ceast and desist this activity.
I just hang up on em. If i don’t recognize the caller and they don’t instantly keep my attention with an interesting subject they can piss off.
It used to be good practice to leave your recorded answering service something like this ………..I am sorry I wasn’t here to help but please leave a message and I will get back to you soon or should you prefer to talk with a real person press 1 to be transferred to one of our service team members.
Why don’t companies think up more imaginative or friendly responses?
Best wishes
You can never win with the phone. At least, I know I can’t.
Gotta love Shakespeare and gotta hate computers on the phone.
