Message bank

One of my best friends is staying over at my house. We watch a few movies and she realises that she forgot her mobile phone. She calls her home phone using my home phone - the phone rings and rings. Finally, the phone stops ringing and the message bank kicks in:

Message bank: "Hi, how are you?"
My friend: "I am well thank you."
Message
bank: "How was your day?"
My friend: "It was good thanks."
Message bank:
"You have reached the message bank of this house. Please leave a message. *beep*"

At the end of the 'conversation', I said to her: "Didn't you realise that was your own voice? You put that message on your own message bank......"

A Brilliant Plan

I've come to realise that I continuously forget to take my phone with me when I leave the house. I'd usually become concious of this when I'm halfway towards my destination. It's then that I think of a brilliant plan -

I know! I'd just call home and they'll bring it to me......oh wait. Genius, you don't have a phone.

What an idiot.
