I used to have on my answering machine:
"Hello you have reached 410-636-????
If you are a telemarketer, please put me on your
do not call list, because NO I don't need to lower
my mortgage, NO I don't need a new roof, NO I am
not donating to the policemen's ball, NO I don't need
healthcare insurance and NO I don't need a cemetery plot.
If you are family or friends, please leave me a message
at the beep."
