I’ve been having fun answering the phone at work lately, when I know its a co-worker calling. Some things I say when I pick up the phone are:
City Morgue, you stab 'em, we slab 'em.
(a classic)
Nihilist Hotline, the following is meaningless…
Bestiality sex talk, woof!
Hoover Dam, woosh, aaaiiggh.
Dick Cheney’s undisclosed location (city name), whoops!
You have reached the offices of your worst nightmare, please hold.
(Tick reference)
Crisis Hotline; aiiiigghheee, yooowwcch, ack!
Have any more to add?
Suicide hotline, please hold…
Robin
In a seriously muffled voice…
Hello! White House. Monica speaking.
“…this is Dave, you got the stuff?”
Aaarrrgh! I’ve been guillotined!

I am amazed no one has used the classic Roadkill Cafe you kill it we grill it.
or just pick a local bar in your area and whenever anyone calls answer using its name. Joe’s bar . Lakeview bar. then listen to your friends apologize to the bar. Great stuff.
“Roscoe’s Chicken and Waffles.”
My mom and I use this one with each other:
When you are the caller:
“Have I reached the party to whom I am speaking?”
(Borrowed from Lily Tomlin’s Ernestine the telephone operator, I believe)
Duffy’s Tavern where the elite meet to eat. Archie da manager speakin’ Duffy ain’t here…
Diamond Detective Agency – if you’ve got a corpse lying around, why not trade it in for something useful?
We’re closed for the day, please hold…
“Joe’s Abortion Shop, you rape 'em, we scrape 'em, no fetus can beat us…”
(This was popular in my high school, just after Roe v. Wade.)
Jake’s Taxidermy, you bag 'em we stuff 'em
L.A. Story has one of my favorites, but you’ll need a beeper of some sort.
Hello, this is xxxx. I’m in right now, so you can talk to me personally. Please start talking at the sound of the beep. beep

Henry’s House o’ Hos, where the customer comes first.
Catholic Hotline. Do you want The Father, Son, or Holy Ghost?
“Our Lady of Angels Seminary. Our Lady is not available. Would you like to speak to one of the Angels?”
(Answering machine message)
machine picks up
Hello?
(Pause)
Oh HI! How are you?
(Another pause)
We can’t come to the phone right now, but if you’ll leave your name, etc.
It’s hilarious when you’re at home and the machine picks up and your friends fall for it
