Top 10 'Out of Office' Email Replies

Good morning my fellow Rotarians.  This morning I thought I’d go practical and give you some info that you could actually use.  So, here are the Top 10 all time favorite ‘Out of Office’ automated email replies… 

# 10.  Thank you for your message, which has been added to our q-ing system. You are currently in 352nd place, and can expect to receive a reply in approximately 19 weeks.

# 9.  Our e-mail server is unable to verify your server connection and is unable to deliver this message. Please restart your computer and try sending again.   (NOTE: The beauty of this idea is that when you return, you can see how many in-duh-viduals did this over and over!)

# 8.  I am currently out at a job interview and will reply to you if I DON’T get the position. Be forewarned about my mood.

# 7.  Hi, I'm thinking about what you've just sent me. Please wait by your computer for my response.

# 6.  I’m out of the office for 2 weeks due to medical reasons. When I return, please refer to me as 'Loretta' instead of 'Bob'

# 5.  I will be unable to delete all the unread, worthless emails you send me until I return from vacation. Please be patient and your mail will be deleted in the order it was received.

# 4.  Thank you for your email. Your credit card has been charged $5.99 for the first 10 words and $1.99 for each additional word in your message.

# 3.  I've finally decided to run away to join a different circus!

# 2.  Sorry to have missed you, but I am at the doctor's having my brain and heart removed so I can be promoted to our management team.

# 1.  You are receiving this automatic notification because I am out of the office. If I was in, chances are you wouldn't receive anything from me at all.

So, did you hear one you can use sometime soon?  You may want to double check your company communications policy before you go there!  And that, my friends, is the bottom of the news on this September 30^th, 2011.
