I think we had this topic a long time ago but heard a ripper on the weekend.
My wife was ring around letting daughters friends parents know about a birthday party change of date.
Obviously someone ( we are sure its older brother) has got hold of the answering machine and made a slight change to message.
This is what we heard.....
"Hi, youve called ***-****. Dad, Mum, Lee and ****head cant come to the phone at the moment but we will get back to you"
We rang it several times just to keep laughing.
He's probably gonna cop it but it was funny.
For a while I had...
"Hi, you have reached JayBee. I am unable to answer the phone at present, but say DANGER after the tone and you will be put straight through to my mobile"
The number of times I got home to hear people saying DANGER expecting to be forwarded was huge. Then I would call people back and they would deny being duped.
Sometimes people would repeat DANGER with different inflections and tones to try to get the voice automation to work.
Many hours of fun were had by all,

How about:-
"Hello this is ****** speaking. ____PAUSE____ I am sorry I can't answer your question right now because I am not actually here, but if you leave your name and number after the tone, I'll get back to you later with an answer."
It doesn't amuse everybody.
A mate of min was trying to leave a message on a tech support after hours line once.
It went something like
"so i press this.......beep...... mate its not working...........so what now......ahhhhh ****ing machine....."
Cheers for the Guido flashback I've got that CD somewhere might have to search for it.
the best one ive had is a friend had one " hello this is ----- who's this? ........ pause ...... im sorry i can't hear you speak up..........pause......... no i cant hear you please speak up ............ pause ............ no louder ..... " it got so many people just yelling into the phone
