Weird Al Yankovic posted this video of answering machine messages he left for his bandmate Bermuda Schwartz back in 1985. After listening to the many strange things he said with the unlimited time he had to leave them, it is no wonder they came up with a time limit for answering machine messages.
BTW Weird Al also admitted he was sober when he left those messages. If that is what he sounds like when he is under the influence, I want to know what he sounds like when he drunk dials…
