Describe a funny text message you have ever received

: You should say

what it was about
who sent it to you
when you received it
and explain why you think this was a funny text message

: Sample Answer

Though some people might disagree, I find the concept of sending and receiving text messages quite fascinating. I often send text messages to others and love receiving witty and humorous text messages from my friends

I got a very funny text messages from Rocky and it was one of the funniest text messages I’ve ever received. This funny text message was about another friend who had a funny way of taking and dealing with others

Rocky was my best buddy during my university days and we still are quite good friends. We often try to meet each other even in our busy office schedules. He often sends me text messages and most of his messages have some kind of humour or a unique way of expressing something. The particular message I am talking about was sent by him and we were in our 7th terms in our university. As far as I recall I laughed for a few minutes after I read his SMS. This was funny yet thought-provoking SMS while it actually characterised another funny friend of ours

It described how the friend is question uses his money to earn respect and companionship from others. However his trick does not work with us and this is something he has complained about to Rocky that days. On the evening Rocky sent me a text messages which was more like a poem and it was quite a good one. I quite liked the rhyme and underlying meaning of the message and that’s why I still remember it quite well
