Quote by Steven Wright

I have an answering machine in my car. It says, I'm home now. But leave a message and I'll call when I'm out.

I have an answering machine in my car. It says, I'm home now

Summary

This humorous quote plays with the idea of an answering machine, typically used to relay messages when one is not available to answer a phone call. In this case, the novelty lies in having an answering machine in a car, implying that the person is constantly on the move. The message's irony lies in the contradiction of saying "I'm home now" while emphasizing their unavailability by requesting callers to leave a message for a future call when they are out again. This adds a comedic twist to the traditional answering machine message, highlighting the person's constant movement and busy lifestyle.
