OK, here goes. About 8 years ago I had a colleaugue who had a really great "warped" sense of humor. He passed away unexpectedly. Apparently he had an arrangement with a friend to put an new tape in his answering machine upon his demise. It said.
"Hello, this is Bruce. I'm dead now so dont bother calling this number any more!"
I really miss that guy. He kept us all in stitches when he was alive. He gave us one last "tweak" after he left us.

This is funny, John, and with two words deleted it's a haiku...

Hello, this is Bruce
I'm dead now so don't bother
Calling any more...

*sorry, I just can't help myself* ,-)
