I don’t exist at the moment, but if you leave your message, name and number, I’ll call you back when I am…
I don’t want to bore you with metaphysics, but how do you know this is an answering machine? Maybe it’s a dream, or maybe it’s an illusion, or maybe YOU don’t really exist. One way to find out is to leave a message, and if it’s reality, I will call you back.
Free money line. All of our lines are currently busy. Please hold. You're call is important to us. Estimated wait time is currently about 421 days, give or take. Thank you.
I know you’re out there. I know that you’re afraid. You’re afraid of us. You’re afraid of change. I don’t know the future. I didn’t come here to tell you how this is going to end, I came here to tell you how it’s going to begin. I’m going to hang up this phone, and then I’m going to show these people what you don’t want them to see. I’m going to show them a world, without you. A world without rules and controls. Without borders or boundaries. A world where anything is possible. Where we go from there, is a choice I leave to you
I’m sorry, I’ve been trying to break the record for “the most calls missed” if its a emergency or you're dying or something, please hold on till the record is broken. And I will call you back.

I’m sorry but my answering machine is out of order. I am leaving a broken CD player in its place. It can’t take messages either. In fact, it can’t even play you a nice tune while you wait to not leave a message.
I’m sorry; my answering machine is out of order. May I take a message?
