Hello!!!!! Anybody home????

We got our land line connection in September 2001....and we opted not to buy an answering machine ...instead we chose to have the voicemail facilty that was provided by our phone company......so basically since then our voicemail message was something like this" Hi....u've reached 330-761-9177------we are not there...leave a message.....beep"...all this in a very sad tone recorded by none other than yours truly.........finally I got fed up of that message and decided ki its high time that I do something about it....so one afternoon last week after lunch my room mate Adi and me decided to change it......and it had to be funny...no more sad noises.......the plan was hatched......and the message was recorded...........in which we both play an active part..........its something like this

ME: "hello!!!!........hello!!!!.............hello!!!!..........hellllo!!!!!....
HELLLLLLLOOOO!!!!.........Adi......dekh to kaun hain phone pe......"

Adi: "hello!!!!........hello!!!!.............hello!!!!..........hellllo!!!!!......."

Me : " hello!!!!!!!....helllo!!!!!!!!!......hello!!!!!!!!! ........ohhh sorry !!!!....we are not there * slight laughter* ...leave a message........"

so now that we had recorded this we just could not wait for someone to fall for it......and yesterday........we had two victims......one of them (wont take the name cause that someone reads this blog and will surely kick my ass for mentioning it here ) called me back on my cell phone and asks" So ...did you guys actually not hear me or were you playing a joke on me" and I say " No dear...thats our voice mail message".....and believe there was this annoyance in this persons voice because I am pretty sure that to every 'hello' said by Adi and me there must have been another hello at the other end.....

and second victim(s) my mom and dad......my dad actually sent me a mail saying that he tried calling me at home but it seems that we could not hear his voice here because Adi and me kept saying "hello ........hello" ............and he goes on to say that probably its the VSNL connection ( they use PC-2-PHONE) thats bad...........

Mission accomplished........and I wait in anticipation for the next victim.................mwwhahahahahahahahahahaha
