Believe it or not, George isn't at home.

Please leave a message at the beep.

I must be out or I'd pick up the phone.

Where could I be?

Believe it or not, I'm not home.

Jerry Seinfeld. The master at work! There has never been a better show!

I bet a lot of people in New York did, where Seinfeld took place.

Sure but I doubt all that many people had it in their households.

Caller ID came out in the late 80's. This is from the early 90's.

[KnocturneKnightmare]

Well at the very least you didn't get caller ID at the time Seinfeld is set.

[EightAndAHalf1]

Uh, you don't? Well, you might wanna check YOUR caller ID, because 1984 just called, and they want you back.

[KnocturneKnightmare]

You don't get caller ID on a home telephone.

[EightAndAHalf1]

That's what caller ID is for.

[dyxeLLL]

No, its called Seinfeld :)

Because they are invading your privacy. Also you don't know if the person ringing is someone you actually know or is a telemarketer until you actually answer the phone, and then you are forced to be rude if you don't want to talk to the telemarketer.
