    I answered my work phone with “Morgans Morgue; you kill’em, we chill’em” once. My coworker did not expect that and cracked up.

    I’ve used the same line with different slogan a few times, but that’s the one that worked the best.

    This one’s pretty mild: I always answer my phone with “Yellow?”

    Nobody has ever noticed or questioned me about it.

      My entire family “Yello”s!

      I answer my phone with it all the time and nobody’s ever commented.

    “Catholic freight depot random city” makes callers pause for a second to think about what they just heard.

    City morgue, you stab 'em, we slab 'em

    Or you slice 'em, we ice (or dice, if you want gruesome) 'em

    Joe’s pool hall, 8 ball speaking

    Sam’s sanitarium, what nut do you want?

    Town grocery, you want the fruit or the vegetable?

    Bill’s grill, where our meat fits your buns, how can we serve?

    Bill’s grill, where we shove our greasy meat in your mouth, how can we serve?

    I used to have a whole list of these things I picked up over the years, but being able to ignore calls without having to hear them ring has made me forget a lot more
