Can't talk now. System's down.
Sorry for the holdup. Looks like a temporary glitch in our network has part of Yahoo! mail down, so you're briefly without service. Rest assured the alarms are blaring in the basement and our team is working frantically to get you up and running ASAP. Again, the snag is on our end ?- so there's no need for you to do a thing.
Back to it,
Yahoo! Mail Team
A local hobby club is run on a very casual basis. Long time members are given keys to the place, and drop-ins can only show up if a long-time member is currently there, otherwise the door will be locked. Consequently, drop-ins will always phone ahead to make sure someone is there. This is the message that plays on the answering machine:
"Hi, you've reached ____ hobby and gaming club. I'm obviously not able to answer the phone right now, so please leave a message. That's right people, leave a message. I am probably just coming down the stairs right now and am struggling valiantly in an attempt to unlock the door and get to this phone before you hang up. But, I probably wont make it because my hands are full and the way is long, so if you'll simply leave a message then I can call you back and say 'Hello, this is ___; yes, there is someone here.' Leave a message!"
Stumble It!
