Press 1 for …
“I think this has been orally photoshopped. I can’t imagine a school actually doing this. I have also heard it before. I think it’s one of those ones that circulate around the internet.”

What if instead of these “National Biscuit Days” we had a “National Gripe Day” where every business was encouraged to replace their standard voice-mail greeting with ten buttons (0-9).
Mine would read:
Press 1 If you have just realized why I have been urging you to make a backup copy
Press 2 If you need help on a macro you’ve been working on for four months, that is almost working
Press 3 For free advice
…
Press 10 (sic!) If you claim to be a techno-idiot.

No. Why not be a radical and use the base -4 number system?
That’s right: “base negative four”
