I have a motorcycle which I recently put custom pipes on. I also worked at a motocycle shop for several years, so I had to stop by and show off the pipes. I stayed until close and a couple of the guys were getting ready to leave at the same time that I was. My old boss was in the building still; she was too busy to come and hear my bike, so I made sure to wind the throttle as I left the parking lot, and "hot-rodded" up the street.
One of my old co-workers pulled up behind me at the stop light, and yelled over to me, "Those are freaking loud!"
When I got home I texted him, letting him know that my brother and I are were thinking about making the bike louder (which no I'm not, I'm amazed I haven't gotten pulled over yet).
The text I received back was: "WHAT?!? I CAN'T HEAR YOU!!!"
Which was amusing because he couldn't hear the text to begin with, I was writing to him. This is the co-worker that is responsible for a good portion of the texts that I've blogged about so far, and obviously it was a joke. I just think that it is interesting that a strictly text-based form of communication, can cross the sensory barriers from sight to sound.
