    Hazards Of Text Messaging

    Just sent the following text message to my mother-in-law:
    Are you excited about Gonads?
    It was supposed to say:
    Are you excited about Goliad?
    Thanks for that, you piece of shit auto-typing Motorola Razor phone. Your days are now officially numbered.

    You see, in Texas there is a quaint old town called Goliad and we're meeting the in-laws there to go to the open-air market and visit a really old, historical fort. So I thought, "Hey, I'll send her a text, expressing my joy at going on this little day trip." As soon as I hit send, it occurred to me that the message hadn't come out just right.

    Instead of asking her about our impending visit I inquired if she's excited about testicles.

    She has yet to respond.

    Sounds like something I would do. Hope you are well. Tate

    That is hilarious. We are all guilty of at least one texting faux pas. I have a habit of not proof-reading my texts too and I sent one (to a boss) that replaced the intended word with lick. Fortunately, she found it funny. HA! H.
