On Saturday my father left a message on my voicemail (which says 'you've reached Ken, Susan, and Spike'-- just in case, dear reader, you didn't know) that started out like this:
"Hello, Ken, Susan, and Spike-- this is, mm, Spike's stepfather calling. (long pause-- I think he must have startled himself by being so funny.) Hello, Susan.... {and the rest of the message}"
it was the cutest thing ever. For years he started out every message by rather stiffly saying, "I'm not sure if I've reached the right number, but if I've reached Susan, I wanted to let her know..." because I always had weird outgoing messages or music (frequently Bongwater).
