A very iffy SMS

Reflecting the Goan sense of humour, there's an SMS doing the rounds that's sending people into a tizzy.

Reflecting the Goan sense of humour, here's an SMS doing the rounds: "IFFI festival offer. Dial 100, say bomb in Multiplex & win free trip to Aguada Jail. Best sea facing rooms, free food, clothing available. Hurry offer opens today."

Aguada is Goa's main jail, located in a scenic riverfront setting where freedom fighters were once despatched by the Portuguese. 100 is the police emergency number, and a bomb scare before IFFI in Goa in part contributed to the presence of security personnel who are visible all over the venue.
