Normally I pick it up, being careful to hold the earpiece near my ear, and the mouth piece near my mouth- then I take a deep breath and say" Dominos -would you like to hear our specials-what's your home phone number-can you hold - thanks!!!!"

Pick it up, press 'yes' (cell) or put the receiver to my head (house), say "hello". Don't want to complicate something as simple as answering the phone, y'know.

I once shared an apartment with a woman who answered the phone;
"Traverse City morgue. You stab em, we'll slab em."
She just laughed when I told her I didn't like it. We weren't room mates long.
