The weirdest telegrams to ever have been sent

(via Grunge) Telegrams were essentially the precursor to the text message, except it was harder to respond with an emoji. They’re not even as old-timey as you might think. In 2013, The Guardian reported the telegram finally went the way of the dodo, the brontosaurus, and AOL when the last one was sent in India. Between the first and last telegrams there were approximately a gajillion others; among the world-changing and the comically stupid, some were just strange.
