Bathroom Monologue: Corpsing


Kill one of their runners. Carve the note into his chest. Leave it in your language, not theirs. You could text them. It is faster. Corpsing is simply clearer. They'll get the message and leave town by dawn.

  1. Yah, but it's so hard to write legibly with a knife, don't you find?

  2. That's true, Cathy. Legibility is essential to communication.

  3. I doubt the message, however it's done, will be missed. Thanks for the morning shiver, John.

  4. Low tech but effective. You kill the messenger you send a message.

  8. John, I was looking for what I thought was a quote I remembered. Thought it was from a movie or something and meant to use maybe a Youtube clip of it for grins. You know how something sticks in your head but you don't know who to attribute it to? Well, imagine my surprise when the only Google finding for this brought up your blog! Small world right? Now imagine my surprise when I find the quote, " You kill the messenger you send a message." at least according to Google, belongs to yours truly!
