Funny Answering Machine Messages

// March 30th, 2009 // Comments Off // Classic Jokes, Pranks and Practical Jokes

One classic prank on April Fools Day is to remove somebodys default Answering Machine Message and replace it with a Funny Answering Machine Message.

Anyway – Enjoy these Funny Answering Machine Messages
