The funniest story he had was when an operations manager was late for a meeting and called his boss to tell him he was running late. As he was leaving the voice mail message, he witnessed an accident and went on to provide "play by play" of the incident. After telling us the story, he promised to send us a copy of the voicemail and here it is. This is the actual voice mail message. It was passed along and forwarded so many=20 times within (Company XYZ), it crashed their voice mail server. http://ezra.blogs.com/voicemail1.wav Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Re: Completely non-language-related #141553 03/31/2005 3:52 PM Joined: Sep 2000 Posts: 4,757 maverick Carpal Tunnel maverick Carpal Tunnel Joined: Sep 2000 Posts: 4,757 Mad!

According to the Snopes link eta provided, it may or may not have really and truly happened, but that doesn't take away from the hilarity. I wonder if the Car Guys will run it on their radio show?
