Here is an interesting word by word reproduction of a sms forward i recieved today on my mobile

"In 1960 the first topless dance bar in malaysia opened in kaula lumpur. The good news, its still open. The bad news is the same girls still work there...send this msg to all or a ghost will rape ur dog."

And my poor friend sent this to me so that his dog is spared. I had a lot of questions after reading the sms

1. Who is the original source of this SMS, the mobile service provider?
2. How many ghosts are waiting in line to "rape" the dogs and is the ratio equal?
3. Do ghosts like dogs and vice versa?
4. How do the ghosts know that the message i recieved was subsequently forwarded by me and that they have to spare my dog?
5. Are the ghosts paid by the hour by this sinister mobile service provider?
6. I don't possess a dog here in Bangalore, will that mean, the ghost will rape me (since i have broken the "forwarding" sms chain) ? if yes, do i have a choice of choosing the female one?
7. How are ghosts related to the people who work in that age old topless bar?
8. Does this whole crap make sense?
9. How come i never thought of visiting malaysia?

Boy! some genius is at work at the mobile service provider's "creative sms forwards" dept. I always knew there was a sinister nexus between the mobile service providers and the sms which come asking us to forward them furthermore thereby creating wealth (sms revenue) to the mobile service provider, but i did not know that the nexus broadened to include "Malaysian Topless Bar of 1960" and "Ghosts".
