My 5 Possible Answering-Machine Greetings: Vote for Your Favorite!

Here are five greetings I’m thinking of putting on my home answering machine. Please vote for your favorite!

1.      “Thank you for calling Genie and Tim. All our representatives are currently busy being very quiet until the Jehovah’s Witnesses outside go away. Please leave a message.”

2.      “Hello, and welcome to Genie and Tim’s answering machine! We know your time is valuable, because ours is too, so you can keep calling forever, and ever, and ever; we’re still not picking up. Make it a great day!”

3.      “Happy Holidays! Due to a high volume of calls, you may experience longer than normal wait times while we screw around on the internet. Please leave a message.”

4.      “Welcome to Genie and Tim’s answering machine! At the tone, leave a message or press “1” for more options, which involve either hanging up, or simply staying on the line forever, and ever, and ever. It’s all the same to us.”

5.      “Hello! At the tone, call someone else. And have a blessed day.”

Take me off your calling list, and Have a Blessed Day.
