How not to Answer the Phone

January 25, 2007
Let this be a lesson to all of you out there. Be sure you look closely at the caller ID before you say anything potentially incriminating or sophomoric. Unless you're a sophomore. In which case, go right ahead.

I *especially* answer the phone that way if I don't recognize the number.

Take it from the treasurer of the Curmudgeons' Guild: your first mistake was answering the phone. That said, I die a little inside when I hear how mature and boring my friends' voicemail greetings have gotten: "Hello, sir or madam. You have reached 555-BORE. I am unable to come to the phone at this time. END TRANSMISSION." Remember when your friends used to try to be clever or work in song lyrics? This may be the way you know you're old. Never stop "HELL-OOOOOOOOO"ing, my friend. Keep on reaching for that rainbow.

Nice man. I've been there, believe me. One time I just missread a callerID and answered the phone "Papa John's Pizza", and it turned out to be a very important call...... tough to explain.

I personally like: "City morgue, you kill 'em we chill 'em."
