Since Guy and I have only had our new phone number for about a year now, we tend to get a lot of calls to wrong numbers. It gets annoying sometimes, but we do get some real beauties from people who don't actually listen to our answering machine message and leave words for someone who definitely doesn't live here. I don't know how you could leave a message for Christopher Blackwell that he does not have strep throat, but he should continue to take his antibiotics, when the answering machine says, "Hi, this is Guy and Caity. We're not here right now, but leave a message, and we'll call you back." Usually when the person you're trying to get in touch with is in no way named on the recording, you should check the number and dial again.
I also got a message on my cellphone which was along the same lines -- "Kathy, it's your aunt Kat. Call me." And the lady proceeded to leave her phone number. A few days later, a familiar sounding voice called and asked for Kathy. I bet she was probably wondering why her niece hadn't called her back.
But by far the best wrong number call Guy and I have gotten so far was as follows...
"Brian, this is Florence. If she keeps stomping on the floor, will my ceiling come down? If it does, I don't know what the hell I'll do. Thank you. Bye-bye."
What??!??! That is one message that will never get erased.

haha, I love it.
During Junior year, Bethany and I would get messages to Erin from Aunt Kim ALL THE TIME! We too wondered why she never realized that the answering machine said K and Bethany, and why Erin never called her back.
Our favorite one was about her telling Erin how she'd pick her up in the Pontiac and they'd get ice cream and how much she loved and missed her.
We missed Aunt Kim when she finally stopped calling.
