John, I'm having problems at home because I want to change the answering machine to say press 1 for English and 2 for Spanish. 1 gives you the standard 'Thanks for calling the... yadayadayada, in English. 2 gives you a recording, in Spanish, to 'Please hang up and call back when you are fluent in English'. My older daughter thinks it's anti-social. I don't care to socialize with people I cannot have a conversation with. My wife thinks it's stupid. Maybe so, but she married me. And besides, no one here speaks Spanish fluently, anyway. My son thinks it's funny. Yeah, I suppose you could draw that conclusion. I tried how about 'Call back when you have entered the United States legally', and that didn't fly either. So, for now the announcement remains unchanged. frown John C.
