The Daily Grind


I work part time doing telephone research.  We don't sell anything, but people still get angry when you call them at home.  I understand that people don't like to be bothered at home, but I have had some interesting experiences.  
Someone once blew a whistle in my ear and told me not to call back
Another person asked if they could interview me and began asking me about the car I drove
Someone once completed an interview with screaming children in the background (God bless her)

Answering Machine Memories:
"We are screening all calls.  Leave a detailed message and we'll decide if we want to answer"
"Whoever is trying to reach their mother, you have the wrong number and I'm sick of listening to the message.  Please stop calling."
"Dear Jesus thank you for this caller.  I pray you bless this caller.  I pray you help this caller with all they are dealing with.  Thank you Jesus and dear caller please leave a message."
"This is the only message you will hear until my wife decides to record a new one."

Now I need to go make funny messages or on the other hand one that almost makes me want to attend church.
