I am such a grinch when it comes to calls like that, automated or not, since they all are trick questions which lead to only one answer..
kinda like when we were kids and played the "would you rather die by drowning in a vat of chocolate or falling from a cotton candy cloud"?

The phone has the ringer off and the answering machine on..there is NOTHING important enough to make me race to a ringing phone anymore.
Harrumph..
