The Answering Machine | |||||||||||||||||||
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. A is for academics, B is for beer. One of those reasons is why we're not here. So leave a message. 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. Hi, Now you say something. Hi, I'm not home right now, but my answering machine is, so you can talk to it instead. Wait for the beep. Hello, I am David's answering machine. What are you? Hello! If you leave a message, I'll call you soon. If you leave a "sexy" message, I'll call sooner! 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. 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 throught 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. Please leave a message. However, you have the right to remain silent. Everything you say will be recorded and will be used by us. 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. This is not an answering machine, this is a telepathic thought-recording device. After the tone, think about your name, your number and your reason for calling and I'll think about returning your call. 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 |

Pick up lines you may have heard | |||||||||||||||||||
I couldn't help but notice you noticing me. I lost my number can I have yours? I'm new in town, could I have directions to your house? Am I dead Angel, cuz this must be heaven! Baby, somebody better call God cuz he's missing an Angel! You look like an angel. Welcome to earth. Do you know karate cuz your body is really kickin' When I marry you I wonder if God will be mad that I stole one of his angels. Do you have a quarter cuz my mother told me to call home when I met the girl of my dreams. You look like a girl that has heard every line in the book, so what's one more going to hurt? If I could rearrange the alphabet, I'd put U and I together. Chicks dig me. I wear colored underwear. Should I call you for breakfast or will you cook it for me? Girl, you look so good, I could put you on a plate and sop you up with a biscuit. Baby, I'm no Fred Flintstone, but I can make your Bedrock. If you were a booger I'd pick you first. I'd marry your cat just to get in the family. When's our wedding? You have some nice jewelry. It would look good on my nightstand. Do you have a map cuz I'm getting lost in your eyes. Do you have a library card, cause I want to check you out! I enjoy doing maintenance, you look like someone I would like to tinker with. Hi, I make more money than you can spend. I never knew Barbie Dolls came fully grown. What time do you have to be back in heaven? I'm no glass of milk, but I can still do your body good. Someone call the cops cuz it's got to be illegal to look that good. If you were a tear in my eye I would not cry for fear of losing you. You might not be the best looking girl here, but beauty is only a light switch away. If you're going to regret this in the morning, we can sleep until noon. |

TEN RULES of HOUSEKEEPING 1. Vacuuming too often weakens the carpet fibers. Say this with a serious face, and shudder delicately whenever anyone mentions Carpet Fresh. 2. Dust bunnies cannot evolve into dust rhinos when disturbed. Rename the area under the couch "The Galapagos Islands" and claim an ecological exemption. 3. Layers of dirty film on windows and screens provide a helpful filter against harmful and aging rays from the sun. Call it an SPF factor of 5 and leave it alone. 4. Cobwebs artfully draped over lampshades reduces the glare from the bulb, thereby creating a romantic atmosphere. If your husband points out that the light fixtures need dusting, simply look affronted and exclaim, "What? And spoil the mood?" 5. In a pinch, you can always claim that the haphazard tower of unread magazines and newspapers next to your chair provides the valuable Feng Shui aspect of a tiger, thereby reducing your vulnerability. Roll your eyes when you say this. 6. Explain the mound of pet hair brushed up against the doorways by claiming you are collecting it there to use for stuffing handsewn play animals for underprivileged children. 7. If unexpected company is coming, pile everything unsightly into one room and close the door. As you show your guests through your tidy home, rattle the door knob vigorously, fake a growl and say, "I'd love you to see our Den, but Fluffy hates to be disturbed and the shots are SO expensive." 8. If dusting is REALLY out of control, simply place a showy urn on the coffee table and insist that "THIS is where Grandma wanted us to scatter her ashes..." 9. Don't bother repainting. Simply scribble lightly over a dirty wall with an assortment of crayons, and try to muster a glint of tears as you say, "Junior did this the week before that unspeakable accident... I haven't had the heart to clean it..." 10. Mix one-quarter cup pine-scented household cleaner with four cups of water in a spray bottle. Mist the air lightly. Leave dampened rags in conspicuous locations. Develop an exhausted look, throw yourself onto the couch, and sigh, "I clean and I clean and I still don't get anywhere..." I think I'll take a break and check my E-mail! |
