Question for the floor:

[monkeycommando]

Can any of you think of a scene in a movie or tv show, where a character answers a phone, and then uses prerecorded music on a tape player, and a series of fake voices, to convince the person calling them that they're rapped up in a large company's answering system

I did read something that in some terrible drugstore doorstop of a book (by Judith Krantz maybe?) that someone had brought along on a choir trip. Details are hazy. No fake voices, but there was a radio involved.

Okay, I'm pretty sure I didn't read it.

And I have sneaking suspicion that what I am trying to remember is a TV ad. But I think what I'm doing with it, the way I'm using it, is probably different enough.

(Thanks for contributing).

Of course, now I'm wondering if I've ever seen a movie that involved a choir trip. The phrase makes me giggle, for some reason.

There was an ad with a guy playing hookey from work. When he answers the phone in a normal voice and it's his boss, he goes on to pretend he's the answering machine and uses the microwave for the beep.

And that sentence was horrible constructed.

I remember the same one, and think it was a beer commercial...
