In Cahoots?
I received the following two voicemails last month, and although they were separated by a week, their similarity has raised my eyebrow.
I don't think this is a coincidence. I think they are teaming up in the interest of voicemail message accuracy. Which is a cause I resist actively. Also it should be clarified that the "Hmm" Bryan spake at the conclusion of his message was not in a Simpsons questioning tone, but rather a ponderous one. As if he were sitting back in his chair, hand to his chin, considering his words. Very inspiring.

Man... I have found a fundamental flaw in your message. I think... that... your message-- your message says... "I am away from my phone." But.... I think that... this is probably not always true because I think you screen a lot of calls.... or maybe you don't hear your phone?... Aaaaand in this current situation you are probably going through an area where your phone doesn't.... get.... a signal?... Unless of course you left your phone in the car and you're in a gas station or eating... But... man, I demand that you change that to.... reflect a more accurate description of... you in physical... uhh, relationship to your phone.
I have spoken.

Well, my question is... in your voicemail message you say... "Hey, this is Jeremy, I'm away from my phone,"... but... are you really?... Is it actually in your pocket, or in the cupholder... or... on your desk?
I submit to you that it is not that you who are away from your phone but rather maybe receiving signal it is away from your phone or perhaps... a power charge.
Hmm.

As much as I want to beleive this to just be some good ol' fashion cahootin', I must admit that it is not.
I think this is a good example of why we have all ended up in the same family...We don't like to leave messages that repeat exactly what the magical voicemail lady has already told you. How she know?
Albeit your theory was well grounded, it lacked any real concrete evidence. You did an exceptional job at drawing the metaphysical line between voice messages and the potential source of their exsistence. But, through no fault of your own, were left with only speculative evidence. Burden of proof is on you, and you just don't have the tools to prove-up the neccessary confidence needed to back your case.
Good job though. I admire this post in great veracity. It is pleasing to read over and consider how neat everything is.
The fact that:
1- two of us unknowingly left similar messages
2- you brought it into the realm of public knowledge for all to appreciate
gives me a special feeling inside. I feel as though I am a part of something. Something with meaning. Thank you.
To that end, all this goes to say just one simple, endearing, and true thing....
I like you.
