SMS Gamesmanship (Banter)

Distances have been shortened by technology. Though not a very efficient job well done, it has done whatever it could to bring people closer. Distance need not always be measured by the kilometers between two people, in fact it need not be measured at all. It is felt more than measured.

Two people: X and Y, keep going despite the distance with a lot of wit, and humour, with technological aid. Here’s a sample of a flurry of text messages sent to each other as a part of their conversation. Funny and filled with banter to the persons involved but absolutely weird to a third person. Have a good read and notice the gamesmanship involved.

Person X to Person Y: I want to climb the Mt. Kanchenjunga
Person Y to Person X: I want to mount Ms. Kanchenjunga
Person X to Person Y: Get rid of your oriental fixation
Person Y to Person X: Get rid of your fixed orientation
Person X to Person Y: What’s wrong with you?
Person Y to Person X: Wrong you? With what?
Person X to Person Y: What was the fixed orientation thing? It’s too wide a term and can mean anything...
Person Y to Person X: A Thing too wide? It was an orientation term, and anything mean can fix it
Person X to Person Y: I am not mean. I am nasty.
Person Y to Person X: Nastiness is no mean time
Person X to Person Y: Well hung?
Person Y to Person X: Hung well…
Person X to Person Y: Ding DONG bell pussy in the well?
Person Y to Person X: Well Bell did dong her p****
Person X to Person Y: Whose?
Person Y to Person X: His sow…
Person X to Person Y: Why not the swine?
Person Y to Person X: Why swine the knot?
Person X to Person Y: Cos Juliet tried swinging her knot.
Person Y to Person X: Lol… ok boss… Off to buy ingredients for lunch… We'll play later
Person X to Person Y: Ok… Got work to complete here too.

The End.
