Voicemail (Humor Challenge Day 14)
I called my son, Adam, and I heard him respond, “Hello? Hello?”
“Adam, it’s mom,” I said.
“Hello? Your reception is terrible. Try moving to a better spot,” Adam said.
I walked to the other side of the room. “How’s that? Any better?”
“I can hardly hear you,” he said. “Try moving to a different spot.”
I walked to the other side of the room. “How’s that?” I said a little louder.
“I can barely hear you. Can you move around?”
I walked to a different spot. Now yelling, I said, “Can you hear me now?” And then I heard…
“This is Adam’s voicemail. Please leave your name and number and he’ll call you back.”
Today’s humor challenge: Leave something humorous on your outgoing voicemail message.
You can have fun AND give folks calling you a reason to smile. Over the years I’ve collected dozens and dozens of humorous outgoing voicemail messages. Here are a few of my favorites. Try one of these, search for other funny messages, or make up one of your own (and send it to me for my collection!).
- 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.
- Hi. I am 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.
- Hi! Now you say something…
That’s today’s humor challenge. Have fun. Be creative. Create a funny outgoing voicemail message. Voicemail has become a way of life. Might as well make it fun!
That’s it! Congratulations for committing to another day. I hope you’ll join me tomorrow for the next humor challenge. I’m Karyn Buxman reminding you to create a humor habit and reap the benefits. Humor is power!
