"Hello, this is the refrigerator speaking. The answering machine is out right now, but if you'll speak slowly and distinctly, I'll write a note and stick it on my door."

Been there, used that.
 
One I've heard of:

"Hi, I'm home right now, but I'm not answering because there's someone I don't want to talk to. So leave a message, and if I don't call you back, it's you."

In one of my apartments, we had 3 tapes that we switched regularly, and changed the recordings on each fairly often. Some were amusing, and some were just short. One was, "Message after tone." in a deadpan voice.

I had a conversation with one roommate after I moved out and was loking for the other roommate. It went, "Speak." "Todd." "Wait." Funny, those were the last words I said to Mick, and I haven't seen him in 10 years now.
 
Mine at the minute says "I'm probably underwater right now. Hopefully my phone isn't. Please leave a message!"

Kinda boring but I don't have to listen to the damn thing.

I had the same problem with people calling just to hear the message. They would get upset if I picked up. Now it's just my cell phone message . . .

Hi, I'm probably diving or sitting at a bar wondering what that stange sound is comming from my pocket, either way, leave a message.
 
I put the following on my home machine for a while:

"Hello.......Hello...............HEL-LO..................HELLO!.........OH WELL, since nobody's home, leave a message"

I had to change it when I got 6 hangups in a row one day and my wife's grandmother had the phone company out to check her line. ;-)
 
I don't have an answering machine at home. Caller ID tells me all I need to know.
My cell phone has a prerecorded male voice for voicemail. My mom always freaks out when she gets my voicemail. Later, she tells me some strange man answered, so she hung up.
