Funny ways to answer your phone

[CindyLouWho]

This subject was on another site I frequent and I thought it would be fun to do it here too.

What are some funny sayings you've heard or that you use to answer the phone? Please share them with us.

Here is one I use some times when my husband calls me:

"Mabel's Massage Parlor. Your pleasure is our business."

It makes answering the phone much more interesting now with caller ID. I will speak in a foreign accent and make my kids fumble out an excuse about dialing the wrong number. Then when they call back I do a different accent.

That's definitely funny!

Here's another fun way to answer:

"Go ahead caller...you're on the air."

How about using this next time someone calls:

"County Morgue. No one can talk to you now."

One of my design friends loves to play around with telemarketers. Once someone called to ask her about cleaning her floors. She told them she didn't have floors. They said what do you mean there are no floors? She said they are just made of dirt. Then there was a pause..you have dirt floors? Yes, they are made of dirt. Ok, have a good day, miss.

She goes through the same kind of routine with windows or siding sales people.

I even got to see her in action when we were all in Seattle. Someone called her room at the condo we stayed at, with the wrong number. She told the caller that the person they went shopping or were in the shower. I can't remember now.

So then the next day I get a wrong number call in our room. I did the same kind of thing my friend did. She gave me evil ideas.

We use to say "City Morgue, You stab them, we slab them!"

Ouch! LOL

Another one: "Roadkill Cafe. You kill it, we grill it."

This would definitely make someone think they dialed long distance:

"Pizza Hut Tokyo. How can we help you?"
