You can go with very general message like, Hello, I cannot come to the phone right now, but leave your name and number after the beep, and I will call you back. If you still want to opt for some voice mail messages that are funny, then take a look at the examples below.

That is why I have decided to make mine short so that no caller has to suffer listening to long answering machine messages. Bye.
