What Are Some Funny Expressions to Say After Answering the Phone?
Answering our phones is something we do regularly without giving it much thought; however, you can spice up even that.

- "Go ahead, caller, you're on the air!"
- "Bob's crematorium, you kill 'em, we grill 'em."
- "This is me, is this you?"
- "Goodbye."
- "Hippity Hoppity, what's Poppity?"
- "Is it done?"
