FlishFun Veteran Posted December 2, 2003 Veteran Share Posted December 2, 2003 My friend used to answer his phone (and our store phone after hours): "Thank you for calling Marvin's Meat Market, where you can beat our meat but not our prices! Charlie speaking, may I take your order?" :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stncttr908 Veteran Posted December 2, 2003 Veteran Share Posted December 2, 2003 Try having your cell's voicemail sound like you actually answering the phone. Works on everyone at least once. "Hey what's up?" They keep talking and talking, and finally realize. It's great to playback. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
