The worst Answer-Phone message

The world’s worst answer-phone message was recorded in 1987 by Chun Miki, an Elementary School teacher from San Bernardino, in America. She used a recording of herself giving birth, which she edited down to 4 minutes. When questioned by police, after complaints were made by a tele-marketing firm trying to sell her double-glazing insurance, she said, “I’m just so proud of my little boy, Ronald, and bringing him into this world was such an amazing experience for me, so I just wanted to share some of it with the world.”
