In my last post on this blog, I wrote about some of the crazy messages left on answering machines when callers were asked to leave a shoe size.
Well, there’s more, but not about shoes, although still about answering machines.
There was a time, quite a few years ago, when I asked callers who wanted a return call to leave name, phone number and the name of a favorite TV show.
This was before there were oodles of channels and all kinds of offerings.

I think about those two calls every time I see him.

The first President Bush – George H. W. Bush – called while he was still vice president but running for president. Along with a message, he left the name of his favorite show. No, I’m not revealing what it was.
After that call, I changed the message for a while to the following: “Hi. I know you don’t like answering machines, but if the vice president of the United States can leave a message, you can, too, so please leave your name and number.”
