Automatic response

I dislike automatic email responses almost as much as those automatic answering systems that most businesses use. Yes, I know they serve a purpose but that doesn't mean I have to like them. Anyway, there's no reason we can't have some fun with them. I came across these ideas for automatic email responses on another blog (OK, I stole them) and I'm putting one into use on my email today even though I'll be in.
1. I am currently out at a job interview and will only reply to you if I fail to get the position. Be prepared for my mood.
2. You are receiving this automatic notification because I am out of the office. If I was in, chances are you wouldn't have received anything at all.
3. I will be unable to delete all the unread, worthless emails until I return from vacation on Feb. 6th. Please be patient and your email will be deleted in the order it was received.
4. Thank you for your email. Your credit card has been charged $5.99 for the first ten words and $1.99 for each additional word in your message.
5. The e-mail server is unable to verify your server connection and is unable to deliver this message. Please restart your computer and try sending again.
(The great thing about this one is that you can see how many idiots did it over and over.)
6. Thank you for your message, which has been added to a queuing system. You are currently in 352nd place, and can expect to receive a reply in approximately 19 weeks.
7. I've run away to join a different circus.
And, finally, this one takes the cake:
8. I will be out of the office for the next 2 weeks for medical reasons. When I return, please refer to me as 'Margaret ' instead of 'Steve'.
Happy Friday!
