Genetics
This is a short encounter. I was half-execting to discover that it was my friend from Satan's Blessing. They gave up so quickly it makes me think it's someone new.

A perfectly normal conversation. What could possibly change?

(13:56:43) babamua: but me i have a lot of problem
(13:56:52) babamua: ok
(13:57:21) Chisel: ok
(14:00:16) babamua: are u there?
(14:00:23) Chisel: I am here still
(14:00:31) Chisel: you mentioned problems, then stopped talking
(14:00:44) babamua: plz have u ever been in Africa it is a nice place?
(14:00:57) Chisel: never beent here
(14:01:28) babamua: u mean i should tell u my problem?
Aha, they have a problem. I think I was supposed to ask them about it. Hope I didn't upset them by saying nothing.
(14:02:29) babamua: yes it is true i will tell u to see if u can help
(14:03:49) babamua: my problem is this i am not more in school because i did not pay my school fees
(14:04:14) babamua: and that is just a lot of problem for me
(14:04:41) babamua: because without school no body have a good future
(14:04:46) babamua: so can u help me plz?
(14:04:46) Chisel: true
(14:05:01) Chisel: I bet you have a friend in England who can help you out - right?
(14:05:12) Chisel: You just need my help getting the money to you?
(14:05:23) babamua: so can u help me
(14:05:52) babamua: yes i need the money to go back to school
(14:06:06) Chisel: and do Dell send gifts to you in the post too?
I thought that I might cut right to the chase. Everyone has "a friend in England who can help" and "gets gifts from Dell" right? (If you haven't read it already, this is a reference to Satan's Blessing.)
(14:06:52) babamua: no they may still it
(14:07:23) babamua: i think u can send it through western union
(14:07:39) babamua: plz do u have credit card?
(14:07:55) Chisel: ah yes, western union are my favourite
(14:08:50) babamua: ok plz do u have credit card so that u can send it on line
(14:09:23) Chisel: how much of my hard earned money would you like?
I was curious to know how much they wanted. It seemed sensible to just ask.
(14:10:19) Chisel: wow, cheap school
Bargain! 75 dollars!!
(14:11:05) babamua: 75pounds
Read: "Oh wait, you said England. Let me convert the currency for you.". This has made things more expensive. Still, for a year of schooling, it's a good deal.
(14:12:21) babamua: yes but i don't have that money so plz are u going to send me the money to go back to school?
(14:12:43) Chisel: probably not
Honesty - the best policy.
(14:14:01) Chisel: well, it doesn't help me, and I have no idea who you are
(14:15:32) babamua: i am called faila from Ghana and i live with my friend
(14:16:03) babamua: i can even send u my pic so that u can no who i am
(14:16:09) Chisel: I am called Alex, from Germany, and I live with my cat
(14:16:33) Chisel: I can send you a picture of a man, and a cat, if you'd like me to
(14:16:49) Chisel: I can also send you a picture of a banana - it doesn't mean I am one
(14:17:23) babamua: what do u mean?
OK, I didn't expect them to get it. It was worth a try. I like playing the
Change The Details game, so I thought I'd take it out for a spin. Maybe I
should have a picture on standby somewhere for occasions like this.
I think that I should find out if they've tried other ways to raise funds before I part with my 75dollarspounds...
(14:18:18) babamua: plz i am not a bad person
(14:18:27) Chisel: you might not be, but I am evil
(14:18:36) Chisel: ask any of my friends
(14:18:43) babamua: if is not because i do not have money bye now i will be in school
(14:19:08) Chisel: sell your computer
(14:20:21) babamua: plz don't talk ;like that it is not good but the computer that i am using is not for me it is for my friend
(14:20:30) Chisel: sell your friend
(14:21:09) babamua: how can i sell a human being
(14:22:13) babamua: are u there/
(14:23:27) Chisel: no, sell them for sex, or genetic testing
Was it something I said?
