Oh, very good.  

Sometimes, if I want to lightly mess around with an unknown caller, I'll
answer with forced retail-clerk cheeriness and sing-song tone:  
'Wally Whammy's Wacky World of Pizza.  May I help you?'

That way, if it turns out to be  my long-lost Tante Sonja, I don't have
to make too many apologies for condom jokes.  (To my knowledge, I don't
have an Aunt Sonja, but one never knows, does one?)

I hold in reserve Nick Moffitt's immortal line 'I'm terribly sorry, but
I just don't speak a word of English.'
