Explaining the backstory here isn't necessary. It's from the chief inspector of the Ghana police force. Just enjoy the proverb, highlight in bold.

I want to leave you to do your choice, but remember that at the end of the day you will cry loud like a baby and you will remember my word. Make sure you get in touch when you returned to United State. I believe you will entrust all your fund to my care after you have realize your mistake. When a child is playing with fire and you deprive him/her not to play with it he/she will not listen not until you live him/her to go near the fire and get burnt a little with it before he/she will realize that what you the father/mother was depriving him/her from was truly that it burnt when touches it. Next time the child will not go near there again.

You will learn't your mistake from this.
But be rest assured i warned you.

Thank you

So I should let my son/daughter play with/on fire? Makes sense to me.

My baiting characters play with fire sometimes. Then they burn their hands and can't make it to the Western Union office in the morning because they're in the hospital. Laughing

I thought it was only in dating scams that hot emails were exchanged.
Some are so fiery that I gotta' have an extinguisher aimed at my keyboard.

@ Dr Seviche, Did you reply to "Playing with fire?"

Cheers

I did respond, but only with a fairly generic encouragement email designed to stall for time. I'm currently focusing my efforts on trying to get my very first safari going. I've been dealing with "Desmond Tutu," yes, THE Desmond Tutu, for about a year now casually. Over the past month things have intensified, and my character is currently in Ghana trying to meet up with Desmond to deliver the laptops, Ipods and cash donations for the orphans in his care.

So far I've had him waste half a day at the airport in Accra, drive twice across town between two different hotels and various other landmarks in a vain attempt to pick up my character. I may have pushed him too far though, last time we talked on the phone he was getting awfully angry for an archbishop, and his emails continue to worsen to the point of near threats.

Still, I intend to follow up further on this bait. I will keep posted if it turns out interesting.

*To clarify, I've been casually baiting for about a year, but left the forum for most of that period due to rl obligations. I used to post under a different name, but forgot my log in info and just created a new account.

Wow, Desmond Tutu is dealing in hot laptops these days?

How the mighty have fallen!

OK OK I know he was on a mountain top when he wrote this.

I read it and I heard monks doing a Gregorian chant.

Priceless.... a bit long for a siggy I suppose but that really should be preserved for posterity somewhere. Laughing

Hey I have an idea, maybe we should make a book of Lad Proverbs Laughing

I wish my bait char had known - His office (next door to the WU office) had a horrible gas explosion..
