In this invention, the owner of the telephone can pre-record messages which can be played back over the telephone line while talking to that person on the phone.
There would be like 5 buttons which could be each programmed with a message. It would be useful in the following situations:
1)Instead
of reciting your home address each time somebody asks for it, just press the button and the recording plays.
2)If you tell a joke over the phone, put more emphasis on it by playing a rimshot sound effect.
3)If a telemarketer calls, simply press a button and play a recording of you screaming "WE DON'T WANT ANY!" or play a loud screamer. Benefit is that you won't disturb the people around you by actually yelling.
4)If you realize after picking up the phone that the person on the other line is someone you dislike, quickly play a false recording of "We are not home right now, please leave your message after the tone!"
Your telephone could be like one of those annoying radio shows with all the sound effects.
