Fall in the Sewer
FOUND by Easy Fiend in Redondo Beach, CA
I found this in front of a residential construction site down the street. I think that if the recipient did fall in the sewer, it must feel nice to know that someone cares.

Catherine,
I'm really pissed off that you didn't come by for tea.

Looks like this note was placed in the sewer, though.

Last line reminds me of the notes in Winnie the Pooh that were written by Owl: something like "BAK SON" (for "back soon") and so on. Anyone else?

@-Librarian - 75% of the notes on Found look like Winnie the Pooh wrote them - or at least had something to do with the spelling...

I thought that, with the internet, it was a lot easier to find penpals...

How's the recipient supposed to know who to write bak to?

No, I got up yesterday morning and had the bright idea to dab a little poo behind each ear, then I spritzed with my own urine. I love my stink, relish the smell of my own farts, and feel it unfair not to share the stench with the rest of the world.

You got a problem with that?!?!?

Not the sewer, but the septic tank.

Of course then in farm country this is the time of the year when the manure spreaders are out in the corn fields recycling what the dairy cows left behind from last year's harvest. Maybe that's what you smell.

I didn't fall in, but jumped in, willingly.

My dog likes to roll in the remains of dead animals and horse poo.

So, why not jump into a sewer?

It was the paper writing to the finder with magical ink since paper doesn't have hands or a pen to write with. The paper then waited for a strong breeze to pick it up and fly it on into the sewer. You see, the paper knew that somehow, someday, someone would fall in the sewer and find the paper. But the paper only communicates with ink. It doesn't know it's been found, so it needs confirmation when it has, thus the need for the finder to write "bak". Maybe the paper is requesting that the finder write on its back since there is no more room on the front.

Yet, even though it asks the finder if he/she fell in, the paper had a secret desire. What it's really asking is not whether the finder fell in, but whether the finder took the time and energy to care about the paper enough to go looking for it and provide it a home.

Now, the paper has been immortalized forever in digital format. It's been scanned, cataloged and filed away in bits and bytes and pixels...right before it got sent to the shredder.

What an ultimately sad and meaningless existence for paper. <sigh>

Ken found a paper in Sadie's drawer that looked as if it had fallen in a sewer. Jokingly, he wrote on the paper, "Did you fall in the sewer yesterday? Write bak." Unfortunately, Sadie's apartment was scheduled for demolition so it could become a construction site, so she never found the note.

No, I didn't fall in the sewer. Some of the framers locked me in the porta potty on the jobsite by nailing it shut with 2X4s, then tipped the porta potty over. Bastards. I not only reek, but I'll be blue for a week.

Why, were you looking for me there?

Librarian, that note is actually left by Christopher Robin to reassure his friends while he's at morning kindergarten. I believe he also leaves another one which reads, "BIZZY BACKSON." Pooh and Piglet start freaking out because they think a backson is some sort of monster, run around pestering every one else as to what's going on, and are given a pompous lecture by Eeyore. Eventually, Christopher Robin learns to spell and everyone chills.
