Sometimes the phone companies here, okay really just MTN, send out mass text messages which I can only assume are for my personal entertainment. Possibly to make some sort of profit, but mostly the other thing. Here is one, grammar included, I received from mysterious (but friendly!) “145″:
“Friends are like melons because To find a good one we have to try hundred others. So lets ADD SWEET OUR LiVES? Jus dial 145.”
I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t tempted to ADD SWEET MY LIFE, you know, just to see what happened. Maybe I’d get more random friends calling my phone at 2am? Maybe a cantaloupe? Despite the vastitude (it’s a word—check it….but not in a dictionary, maybe later) of possibilities, I also know MTN’s proclivity for flat-out scams. Really? You can sponsor the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, but you can’t give me 2 shilling/sec dialing to other people on YOUR network….like you say you do?
I need some serious phone therapy. Maybe some friends. Maybe just 100 melons. I really got mixed messages there.
