Do you have a memorable text message?

In an effort to revive this blog's regularity,  I am proposing to branch out at little.

My Dad loves his sport. Loves it. Dad is a big Broncos supporter (football). To the point that when he is overseas, I will text hime the scores so that he doesn't miss out. These days of internet broadcasting etc, it is not so important. There are times however, when he is is in foreign countries with limited access to the internets. At these times, I try to help him out. 

Father's day last year coincided with the playing of a crucial match in the football season. So I texted Dad a message, which was (to my mind at least) humourous due to its brevity:

"Eels 68 Broncos 10. Happy Fathers Day"

What is a memorable text message for you?
