that is the funniest thing I've seen in ages - and so recent! Only 5 years ago. Could have done better to waterproof it though.

I'm going to leave letters in all my home improvement projects from now on! I've considered leaving small bottles of booze in the past mainly as a way to allow people to drown their sorrows which they undoubtably have after dealing with my lack of craftsmanship.

When we built our house, we spray painted messages on the slab before the carpet went down.
I hope someday I will see my old house on flickr...

Funny. When an x-friend and I started a business together (by the way NEVER do that with a friend or someone who calls you that!) I painted a large perfect pentagram on my office floor before it was covered with tile. I wonder if anyone will ever find it and wonder why it was there! LOL!!

What a funny person this is!

Alfred Wams says:

It is terrible and it has is no name under it. You are very much right in saying it is scaring. Throw it away immediately. Take in consideration to always do that with unsigned letters. I only keep these letters as proof but in this case the police may have it. In not saying there were these sick threats sold with the house you may negotiate a lower price. That could make it still funny.

Oh, PLEASE, Alfred Wams. There were no threats in that. It was clearly intended by the writer to be humorous.

must have been a pretty crappy pond if - after only 5 years - the guy who made it sold it and then the next owner decided to remove it.

I do things like this & have no idea who or what happens to them. That's part of the fun... that said, it'd be great if someone emailed me one of mine saying 'check this out!'

But with less decapitation references.

funny note but it does teach you not to use inkjets and arial, even when laminated.

that's the sort of thing i used to do as a kid (write notes to be discovered by whomever and leave them in odd places). i'd be delighted to find one myself.

This is pretty hilarious. It belongs in the "ponds" group!

Actually, it's kind of good you took the pond out... any longer, and the note might have been illegible.. and that's no fun!

It was my brother Simon who found this note. Tee hee!

thatcanadiangirl says:

@dark_dave25 haha what are the odds! Does he still have the note? Most of the interwebs actually don't believe us it's real!
Posted 4 weeks ago. ( permalink )

dark_dave25 says:

He does indeed still have the note - it's pinned to his kitchen wall!
I'm very glad that he filled in the pond, 'cos his two little goblins would surely have got up to mischief in it.

How do you know Si & Lucy?
