Most of the messages my answering machine gathers daily are nil - no words, or perhaps a "Hello?" But there was one today that just takes the cake for insufferability.

The message began: "Thank you for calling our site. Press 1 if..."

That's right. This entity (apparently connected to Wal-Mart) called my phone and immediately dumped me into a voice-mail menu.

If voice-mail menus that ensnare people who call certain corporations are the spawn of Satan, voice-mail menus that call you can only be described as Cthulhuesque.

Keep away, I tell you! Keep away!
