One of the more interesting answering machine greetings I helped record was for my "little brother" Erik, at least a dozen years ago... My task was to meow plaintively in the background while Erik recited the following in a very blasé tone of voice (as he said everything): "Hello. This answering machine has been connected by a high-voltage wire to a small, helpless kitten. If you hang up without leaving a message, you will complete the circuit and fry the kitty. The choice is yours. Have a nice day." Erik and his roommates got dozens of messages saying "I want that cat KILLED!"

A friend of mine in College Part 1 had Lionel Richie on his machine - "Hello...Is it me you're looking for?" - and then my friend spoke: "Hi, this is Duane. I'm not here right now, but if you leave a message, I'll call you back, wherever you are." Back to Lionel: "Are you somewhere feeling lonely, or is someone loving you?" *beep!* All of us in the dorm thought it was cute, but he got one message from a potential employer saying, "We were considering hiring you, but after hearing the offensive message on your answering machine, we doubt that you are the right material for our company." We all agreed that if the people at that company were such tightasses that they found *Lionel Richie* offensive, Duane probably wouldn't have wanted to work for them anyway. k@ ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 31 May 1999 03:08:16 -0400 From: Way Subject: Re: What are you listening to?
