Wrong number? No problem.

I was talking on the phone with a friend of mine today (Hi Jesse!) when she got a text message.  It read "Why is Jason in jail?".  The message was from someone who had texted the wrong number.  It's one thing to call the wrong number, but another thing to text the wrong number.  You open yourself up too much that way.  Receiving a text message like this creates so many possibilities.  How long could you keep this person going before they realize they've texted the wrong person?
"Why is Jason in jail?"
   - He killed a hooker
   - He's a pedophile
   - Bestiality, with a pig (or a Cornish hen, or a mouse, or a cow....etc)
   - He kidnapped my grandma from the old folk's home
   - For driving his John Deere tractor in the far left lane
   - Stealing candy from a baby
   - Sodomy
   - His meth lab blew up

And the list goes on and on....  My friend chose to respond with the text "I don't know, why is Jason in jail?".  Boooooorrrrring.  A chance to mess with someone like that only comes every once and a while.  You have to seize it!  This made me wonder though, who makes their first cell phone interaction with someone be a text message asking why someone is in jail? 

This led to a discussion about another friend who was cussed out via text by someone who had the wrong number.  It was all over someone cheating on somebody.  If you feel the need to confront someone like that at least have the balls to call them, not text them.  That's like cussing someone out via email....lame.  This tirade was answered with a text of "We will pray for you...".  That stopped the texts.  I'm sure she could also have said "The trailer park called, they want their trash back" but that might have escalated things a bit.

I guess there's a lesson to be learned in all this; call to check the number before you text someone.  You never know who you're texting.
