A PM From The Other Side?
When I checked my inbox this morning, there was an anonymous message for me. Yes, you heard right. Anonymous! At first I thought it was from CS management, but then I remembered that theirs are marked as ‘Management’.
I opened it and to my astonishment, it was from a blogger friend who is no longer with us. I know that I’m breaking the rules, but this is exceptional.
Hi Mate,
I sneaked in here while Peter is in the dunny. I cannot stay long but I’ll have a few minutes because I hid the date roll under the cistern.
You and everybody must stop blogging immediately. Warn the trolls too. When I arrived here, I was issued with a laptop and given the option of heaven or hell. Well mate, you know me. I always cover all my bases. I asked to see both before choosing. As I descended into hell, I saw all these bloggers in a sauna, chained to their desks, writing blogs. While they were working and sweating, they were whipped continuously. When I asked who they were, an invisible voice said they were the trolls.
I asked to see heaven and found the exactly same conditions. “And who are these people”, I asked.
The same unseen voice told me that they were the good bloggers. “But it is the same as hell”, I said.
“Oh no”, said the voice. “All the moderators are on the other side as well.”
Mate, get out while you can. The comments are murderous!
Well, I’m passing on the message. Do with it what you want.

so you got the joke, well I did not
I think somebody is trying to tell us that there is no heaven for bloggers.
This particular blogger had a few stints of problems with the moderators, but now he appears to miss them.
so that is all about
I dont get it either.
I doubt it if I'd be able to establish contact again. The PM disappeared as mysteriously as it arrived.
You got it mate, Heaven or hell, we're gong to stew.
no heaven for bloggers
Maybe,
He was a troll himself or still is.
Oh what a tangled web we weave
Maybe Im a troll
I think in this case PM stands for postmortem
It is because you're trying read it from left to right. Peter has a Hebrew keyboard. Read it from right to left.
PM is a Private Message such as in CS internal eMail system.
I thought you were getting emails from a Prime Minister
is my English
I had nothing funny this morning or last night.
You would have understood this better if you knew the esteemed blogger who managed to smuggle this message tome from across the river Styx... Oh good grief! I forgot to take my little pink pink pills. No wonder the little voices are so loud today.
I just read it in the reflection of a mirror and now I cant stop laughing.
Like most of us he was a little of both. But it seems that the trolls are better of that side. At least they have the protection (protection
Yea, but it will only come into effect next year when Scatty takes over from Peter when he retires. I wonder what kind of pension Peter is looking at after son many years service.
You write like a crab
You have me thinking now. Maybe if I upgrade to Win10 I can trace that PM.
You must not come with such brilliance. When I start thinking it leads to disaster every time.
Yes, it is safe for now, but I cannot guarantee the same in the afterlife. The warning is very clear.
Give me a warn if that happen again
I just read it in the reflection of a mirror and now I cant stop laughing.
See! It's easy. And everybody is missing the hidden message within the bigger message. All moderators go to hell. I hope the mods miss it as well.
Destroy this comment once you have read it. You know how sensitive they are.
The message may not be repeated. But I think we should carry on with our apprenticeships. At least we'll be old hand at it when we get there.
Don't worry too much, Itchy. It will soon be better once the medication takes effect. The little voices are much more subdued now.
You're tight. I will never change. It stems from my childhood.
Thank you very much but don't bea a pain in the back, will ya?
But you were never a fire-breathing dragon, were you?
You were always such a placid person. Peace-loving like me.
See ya later.
