I’m writing you a message in code. How do you spell “nincompoop”?

So i'm trying to orgranise a barbecue for my colleagues this coming Saturday. While trying to provide directions to my place, the following emails were exchanged.

Chinatown is South? Any lobang for helicopter?

Hi all,

As for parking spaces, there isn't any multi-storey carpack nearby. You guys can park along the small roads. As long as you don't obstruct the driveways of other houses, its ok.

As for helicopter lobang, you can call 1800-CARELESS-AIRWAYS. Please contact BC for any helicopter parking spaces.

Got parachute? Pilot included? How to go home?

My Reply:
Pilot is considered as add-on services, so there will be extra charges. Parachute not included. But since you live in the South, i presume you can afford it. Please contact your chauffeur when you want to go home.
