Do not drink while listening to voice mails
When I get a call from a number with an area code that I don’t recognize, I usually let it go to voice mail. This time of the year most of those calls are:
-
people wanting to lower my mortgage — Mortgage rates are at historic lows.
-
people wanting to give me health insurance — I got health insurance on July 1, 2012, courtesy of Obama and the Affordable Care Act but not all of the insurance companies know that yet so some are still calling.
-
people wanting a home inspection — Home inspections are how I make most of the money that I use to pay my bills.
Earlier today a person left a voice mail requesting information about a home inspection. When I called the number she left, I got her voice mail. Here’s what her voice mail greeting said:
“I am not available right now but thank you for caring enough to call. I am making some changes in my life. Please leave a message after the beep. If I do not return your call, you are one of the changes.”
I nearly choked on my margarita but succeeded in spitting it all over my desk instead. My keyboard is now all sticky and smells like a margarita.
MORAL: Do not drink while listening to voice mails.

I’m not surprised your keyboard and desk are covered with margarita spits. That’s so funny. I wonder how her friends react when she forgets to call back….!
That is hilarious!
so funneee! love this Russel, and I shall ‘borrow’ her response, love, love, love it, cause it’s perfect! Can you imagine! You can’t be the only one who reacted to her message that way
Hahahaha…good one for you
I am laughing so much tears are in my eyes!
Thank you,

LSHIPAL (laughing so hard I peed a little).
Haha, just noting, though, that the insurance companies probably know all about Obama’s health care but are hoping to call some people who don’t! Now I want a margarita too, but it’s way too late here.
That’s hysterical! I think I’ll use that message. At my age, who cares what other people think – LOL
Ha ha – I SO NEEDED a laugh today
Indeed, the best voice mail ever. “You are one of the changes…”
Ha ha- that’s one to remember!
lmao!! i got to incorporate that into mine
What a clever message!! Too funny!!
hahahahahahha:) Too bad for yoyr keyboard!
I actually had to go buy a new keyboard. Sticky drinks like alcohol and soda are bad. Water’s okay but who drinks water while working at the computer?………….lol
Too funny!
Thanks for the giggle! And I am thankful I wasn’t drinking my coffee at the time I read it!
Thanks so much for the giggle, I almost spewed my coffee.
Too funny! I may have the same message on my voicemail–at least at home–in the very near future. Thanks for sharing!!
hahaha so funny!
You are adding so much humor to my morning… Thank you
We all need a little laughter in our days. Glad I could add some to yours!
