Do you remember letting the answering machine pick-up and listening to the message.  If it was something you were interested in you'd pick up real quick and pretend that you couldn't get the phone in time before the machine picked up.   If you weren't interested you'd just let them continue with their message.

It would be cool if you could do this on your cell, right??  Apple calls  it "Live Screening" and they are considering adding it to their smartphones.
