Answering Machine: "One...new...message...from...David...Acklin"
And I quote:
"Hey, it's me. Hope you're having a great evening, just wanted to call and say 'hi'" (cough, cough) "Still got that cough...oh" (cough, cough, cough)"...might be this joint." (pause for longer bout of intermittent coughing) "Oh shit! Well, anyhow, watching the Diamondbacks, trying to smoke this thing at the same time..." (more coughing) "...Oh FUCK!? Anyhow, I hope you're having a great night. Just wanted you to know how much I appreciate all the help you're providing at the office, keeping up with all the work..." (more coughing) "...shit, last time I try and multitask. This is some good dope. Anyway, want you to know I love ya." (couple more coughs interspersed with subtle, yet audible, sound of Dad taking another drag) "Well, ah, I'm getting pretty fucked up, I'll see ya at the office tomorrow..." (clearly holding his breath and speaking at the same time until alas he can hold it in no longer, more coughing, hangs up phone).

Great stuff, Aden. Reminds me of a story my buddy's dad (Judd) told me once. Apparently, Judd had graduated high school and gone to community college in a remote part of upstate NY. Well, one of his relatives had died and nobody had heard from Judd in like 3 years. It panned out that a state trooper came to Judd's door to inform him of the loss, and when the Trooper forcibly opened the door, there sat Judd, clad in just a robe with a surgical gas mask over his head linked directly to a 4 foot bong. Oh, to be in college again...
