电话答录机里的幽默
中国家庭并不常用电话答录机（Answering Machine), 但在北美家庭，几乎家家都用。外来电话拨入时，若该电话号码的主人不在，就会让拨入者听到一段留言，这叫 Answer。绝大多数的 Answer 都是千篇一律的：说明主人不在，请拨入者留下简短信息及姓名电话号码等。
以下特别的 Answer 体现了美国人的幽默，你也体会一下吧：
1) Hi. This is John. If you are the phone company, I already sent the money. If you are my parents, please send money. If you are my financial aid institution(金融援助团体), you didn't lend me enough money. If you are my friends, you owe me money. If you are a female(女性)), don't worry, I have plenty of money.
2) Hi, I'm not home right now but my answering machine is, so you can talk to it instead. Wait for the beep（beep：主人的 Answer 讲完以后，Answer Machine 会发出一声 beep,这时候来电话者就可以开始留言了。
