Each week I change the recording on our voice mail at church. This week it went like this:
What I meant to say: Thank you for calling St. Andrew's Catholic Church. Please join us for our Fish Frys every Friday during Lent, serving USA Raised Catfish from 4:00 to 7:00 pm. Our weekend Masses are Saturday, 5:30 pm, Sunday, 9:30 am. Weekday Masses this week: 8:00 am, Tuesday through Friday. Office hours, 1:00 to 5:00 pm, Tuesday and Thursday. If you need assistance, please leave a message and we'll return your call as soon as possible.

LOL!!! I crack up leaving those things! I always wind up sounding SO WEIRD!!!
LOL, no crap is not a bad word, but I would make sure its not in the message :) unless they thought maybe you were serving carp fish and you mispronounced it :)
that would be a nightmare to have to record a message weekly like this; I think it would be the least favorite of my job duties :)
betty
LOL, crap is only a bad word if you think it's a bad word.
LOL! You did better than I would have!
Are you ready for more 'crappy' weather? (sorry, couldn't resist) It's on the way! Take safe and warm!
