Answering Machine

[ehowton]

For years the average ape has attempted creative ways to let callers know what to do (and when) to leave a message on an answering machine.


Unfortunately for me, people aren't always as smart as they might appear. You see, I chose to forgo the entire preamble prior to the beep, and assumed that the caller would know what to do, and when. After all, no matter how creative or interesting most answering machine messages are, the majority conclude with the instruction, "Please leave a message after the beep." Who, in this day and age of technology doesn't know the importance of this timing? You don't leave a message before the beep - only afterwards. The beep is the key. In fact, I'd guess that all you reading this now, know just what to do. Furthermore, you're probably wondering why I'd even bring it up.

I'll tell you why. I'm willing to tell ya, I'm wanting to tell ya, I'm waiting to tell ya! Beacause for several years, I never had one person leave a message on my answering machine. Not friends, not family, not telemarkers. No one. When pressed as to why, they always exclaimed, "I was waiting for the message."

I had an answering machine which I set to simply, "Beep."

Haha. Sorry.

I've noticed a trend...

If I act like a stupid little bitch, who doesnt know anything. Your fine, you know how to deal, but I get a bit whacky like you and Eric always are... you get confused and half angry.

Anyway it doesnt matter.

It's that fighting fire with fire thing, but I dont think you'll see my logic anyway.

I see your logic, and find it...flawless.

I assume you would, because you think along a similar train of thought as I was yesterday afternoon.

But apparently he doesnt know how to deal when I act like myself.

I mouth off that way for real quite a bit. It's all playing and in fun.

However, once in awhile, I'll get serious, but it happens so frequently that people think I'm joking anyway. :-P

Mostly, I tell people the brutal honest truth, and they think I'm joking. On the rare occasions I joke, people think I'm telling the truth.

This is one of the reasons I hate people. Oh yes, I understand exactly where you're coming from.

*laugh* At least SOMEBODY does.

I tire of people being stupid.

Ei: Brother put pony bead up nose. Mother had to take brother to doctor. Doctor looks in his nose and informs brother "you have a bead in your nose" Mom looks at doc like he's nuts. Doc turns to nurse and tells her "take the bead out of the boys nose."

You see... why did we pay the doc all that money when it was the nurse who actually took it out??
That was a $150 bill... *frown*

Logical? Negative.
