Ever get really weird text messages?

(No identifying information about senders, please.)
Two I got recently:
"Would you like a five foot alligator?"
"We have a bear under our hot tub."

"keep me posted. It's probably that tainted avocado you "received" in 1975 has sprouted in your colon"
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Not a text message, but I once got a 'phone call from a Welsh lady asking about what sort of photo shoots I do. Then about a year later, I got another one from a Welsh bloke, complaining about not receiving the photos he and his wife ordered. I wouldn't mind, but back then I didn't even have a camera.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

I got a rash of calls from girls on Sunday mornings sounding like Geordies talking about the "time we had last night" or some such.
It seems some enterprising Geordie chap was gradually going through the available women in his area and giving them my phone number, earned a few hard stares from the Mrs even though I'd been in her presence at the time of the snuggle incidents.

Not text, and not exactly weird, but I've received many hundreds of calls and messages from collectors, attorneys, etc looking for someone named "Illiana". This has been going on for years. I tell them I've had this number for eight years and I've never heard of her, and the calls stop, for awhile.

I get calls for "Mrs. Sullivan." My favorite was from the National Autism Foundation or something like that:
"Mrs. Sullivan, please."
"Nobody here by that name, I've had this number for five years."
"Oh, okay. ... Can I leave a message?"

"maybe the cat is depositing doots in your piehole at night?"
"swallow harder"
"sure, once they hear you're getting a third breast"
"chickens! They poop breakfast !!"
"Wednesday: The pelvic mammogram"
" a Catholic ultrasound?"
"they're just trying to avoid paying for your third sex change"
"what setting do I have to put it on to only see penises?"
"I think my lava lamp is spawning a fetus"
"Polyps taste like chicken"
"can you rent a glacier ? "

One time I got a text of someone asking if the person they intended to text wanted a "three sum" lol I should have texted "New phone who 'dis?" but I simply held my silence.
