Default Letter in a Bottle

I once put my name and address in a bottle and threw it into the sea.
10 years later I got a letter from someone in Australia.
It was a fine from their government for littering Sydney beach.

An unexpected reaction. Maybe some strong brandy inside would have saved you
the fine.

BTW, Police did it too, knowing that it's repetition that makes the things
perfect:

I'll send an SOS to the world
I'll send an SOS to the world
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
I hope that someone gets my
Message in a bottle, yeah
Message in a bottle, yeah
Message in a bottle, hoh
Message in a bottle, yeah
(Message in a bottle, by Sting/Police - Tracy Barber of SNA would have
appreciated)
