Not to run this topic into the ground, here's a couple of my
favorites, which my roommates and I have used in the past:

(soft, sultry, female voice)

"You know what this is, and you know what to do, so do it at the beep."

*******

Same voice, a little louder:
(Sound of erotic moaning in background)

Uhh, we can't get the phone now, oooh!, but leave a number and we'll
(BEEP!)

*******

I think the best one was when a friend of ours who works in a
recording studio let us mess around one night:

"Hello, this is the rock doctor, you're on the air."

(Extremely wasted-sounding individual)

" Uhh, I'm going to the Ted Nugent concert, and , uhh, I'm going to
take some pot, and some Acid, and a quart of rum, and some uppers man,
and ,uhh, I was wondering if there was anything else I should take?"

"Yeah, an ambulance!"

Normal voice- "We can't get to the phone now, so leave a message."

We had to take these off our machines when we sent out resumes with
our numbers on 'em... 8-(


Another friend's machine answers: 

"This is the Wichita National Weapons Laboratory, please leave a
message."
