Charm and Taxidermy

My home voicemail has a message that says, "Hi, you have reached Miss S's School of Charm and Taxidermy, no one can come to the phone right now because we're busy being either charming or taxidermic. Your message is very important to us, so please leave it along with the day and time of your call after the tone. This months charm tip is don't pee on the electric fence." I can tell that some telemarketers are charmed by it because they will call back several times to see if they heard it right. Several friends call to see if I've updated the charm tip - to don't pee on an electric blanket. And of course, the irony for people who know me really quite well is that I'm nearly completely devoid of charm.
