leave a message at the tone...


One of the features of our phone company is their automatic transcribing of our voice mail which is sent as an e-mail. I really like the convenience although frequently things get a little garbled in the translation.  Usually it doesn’t pose a problem as I can figure out the message in spite of the mistranslation.  However, yesterday we received this shocking message in an e-mail:

"Hi it's **** ****** and I am Isaac money from the 21st for having sex. So I think I'm gonna drop off a check. I'm, I'll be out this afternoon evening but I'm hoping that next Thursday. You can also model and that would be the fifth. So I hope to see you then if not before and look for a check either in your mailbox or in your door. Okay, I guess maybe you. bye bye"

I haven’t laughed so hard in a long time.  Lest some steamy rumors get started, this is the actual voice mail version:

“Hi, it’s **** ****** and I owe Isaac money from the 21st for heaven sakes. So Isaac, I’m gonna drop off a check.  I’m… I’ll be out this afternoon… evening… but I’m hoping that next Thursday you can also mow and that would be the fifth.  So I hope to see you then, if not before, and look for a check either in your mailbox or in your door.  Okay, adios amigo!  Bye, bye.”
