Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me

As you may or may not know, I was a contestant on NPR's Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me back in October. I was the listener in the stump-the-listener challenge, and I was not stumped. Therefore, I won Carl Kasell's voice on my answering machine.

Well, the CD with his greeting (which I had to write) finally arrived. In it, Carl Kasell says:

"Hi, this is Carl Kasell from Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me on National Public Radio, and I'm here to let you know that Bob can't answer your call right now, but in the meantime, let's play a round of the listener limerick challenge:

Bob didn't answer his phone, what a creep
He might be ignoring you, or gone, or asleep
But hold on there Jack
He'll call you right back
So leave your message right after the ____."

For the select few who know my home phone number, you can call it and listen to the message now. It's pretty sweet.
