"Hi! You've reached the offices of Zoo Services, Inc..
I'm a not a plumber, electrician, carpenter, paperhanger, maid, painter, landscape artist, computer technician, financial consultant, party-planner, handyman, hired assasin, or tow truck operator. But if I were, I would most certainly have an incompetent receptionist who would undoubtedly be on break, or at lunch when you called.
That seems to be the case right now, in fact, or you wouldn't even be listening to this message.
If you are in need of immediate assistance such as, your kitchen is flooded, your roof is caving in, your wiring is shorted out, you need someone bumped off, or your car is stuck in the mud, you'll have to leave me a message and I'll get back to you when I damn well please. Business is good, so I'm not really all that motivated about solving your problems... besides, I already told you at the beginning of this message that I'm not any of those things that you are calling about.
Now, if there is some other service that you're in need of that you don't see listed, please, by all means, leave me a message so I can be sure to add it to the list of things that I won't do.
By the way, this machine only holds 25 messages, so your guess is as good as mine as to whether or not I'll even respond to you!
Good luck, and have a great day!"

"Hi There! You've won a trip to lovely Bognor... in December. You will be treated to 1 star service at the infamous Hells Hostel where all of your needs will be ignored. There is also a pothole you can swim in! Congratulations!"
"This is the Bastrop County Tax Assessment Office. We are gonna need you to come in with some sort of proof of identity for those funds that we already spent. An affidavit or sworn testimony from a family priest should do it. "
"You guys are cracking me up. Push one to hear me belly-laugh. Push two to hear me belly-laugh in a foreign language. Push three if you would like a pizza delivery. Try to fit your fist in your mouth if you're bored. "
"Zoo, I pushed two to hear you laugh in a foreign language, and that was funny, but what I REALLY wanted to hear was you laugh like the Pilsbury Doughboy...what do I gotta push for that? Hello? Zoo??"
"Hello, I didn't realize you guys used an answering machine. Oh well, I'd like a quart of wonton soup, a pint of fried rice and 4 egg rolls. And please this time don't forget the fortune cookies."
"Yarrrr. Is that me old hearty ZooDuck? This is Cap'n Bly, I hear you been dissin on my matey Johnny. That's a keelhauling offence, landlubber. Don't make me come over there. "
"Zoo! Quick take a message for me!
I'm very busy and forgetful lately and quite prone to talking to myself...
and I forgot what I wanted to tell me...
Damn.
"
"Psst Zoo, where you be? Putting out fires? Playing the almighty tourney hand? Marv lock you in the basement? Do they have basements in TX? EEEP! Miss ya."
"Zoo? My cell died so I zipped in the house to call. I've been outstanding in my field for months and I haven't seen you yet! Toss food out when you pass by! Ok gotta go so I don't miss you when you-- Aw, man! I just saw you go by. $%##!"
"Hello, Mr Zoo. This is Sheree calling on behalf of Dr.Arnolds office. We wish to confirm your special rash down there, appointment. Tomorrow at 4 oclock. Thankyou."
"*booming, thumping bar music ~ a shout over the phone* DUDE!!! Where are YOU???? There's some hot chicks here! WHERE ARE YOU????? *muffled covered whisper* Dude, I think her name is Candy. Dude!"
"Just stopped in to check my messages, and.... hey, I remember this place. Fun atmosphere, lots of weird folks, and look! Gas is only 3.00 a gallon here! Woo HOO!!!"
"Mr. Zoo, this is Marcy from writing.com. You have just been awarded 300,000 GPS. Since you weren't here to take my call; I'm keeping them for myself. Thanks!!"
""Have You Checked The Children? No? Is Johnny There? Oh Come On! I Know That You're Not Answering Cause Of What You Did Last Summer. Zoo? ZOO! Answer The DAMN PHONE!!!!"
