The message
from "David WE Roberts" contains these words:

For the first time this year.


We keep getting rain forecast, but it never seems to turn up although the
rest of the country seems to be getting rain.


There was rain forecast for Wednesday, but again it seems to have changed
its mind and gone elsewhere.


Is someone out there in the west stealing our rain?


Yes, I stole almost a foot of it in the last 10 days.

I don't want it any more so you can have it back, send a pipe.

There you go: "|"

In a more geekish group than this they had a code group to represent:

"Snort coke/coffee through pipe onto keyboard"
It seemed better than LOL..

I can't remember it though...
