My parents' answering machine used to live on top of the filing cabinet, right next to the fruit bowl. My mother eats lots of fruit so this fruit bowl is often overloaded. One time it was so overloaded that while my mother was trying to extract a piece of fruit, a bunch of bananas fell out onto the answering machine. Unluckily, the bananas happened to push the "record outgoing message" button just as my mother exclaimed "Oh, bananas on the answerphone". Then we had "bananas on the answerphone" on the answerphone (as the outgoing message, until someone realized and re-recorded the message).
