I used to change it all the time.... wife found no humor in it.... standard message now "hello you've reached blah blah blah and so leave a message"... so boring.
On the rare occasion I do answer the phone at home I'll answer it as "Rob's Fish Market, how may I help you" or some other nonsense. People who know us expect it, confuses others and often they just hang up and dont' call back. Fine by me. I like to talk to telemarketers in my best broken English with my own personally developed Oriental dialect.

Typical boring message. Keith has to do it because I refuse to record my voice.

"You've reached (713) ***-****, please leave a message!"
Again, not real original.
CB, I can relate with the unpronounceable, unspellable name thing. Even the phone company doesn't have my name right, my parents told me from their caller id box...

In college we had this great message where we talked like the MacKenzie Brothers. It was awesome, we also would get requests not to answer the phone so people could hear it.
Now it says, "You have reached the Harming's, please leave a message"
If you can believe this, I came up with that masterpiece all by myself. :proud:

In my voice: "You have reached George W. Bush. Leave a message, we'll call you back."
(Don't ask, anyone who knows both of our political affiliations finds this funny. Or else it confuses the crap out of people.)
