The one sentence reads: "...I put ... on top of the gate ....".

Talk about suspense!

At a guess, and knowing a little about history, I suspect that the full text runs something like this:

"I put [(someone's) head] on top of the gate... [such is how all traitors are served.]"

In a galaxy long ago and far away, my dog died.

Welllll, maybe not.

But I would sure like to read the portions yet to be uncovered and deciphered! Meanwhile, making toast may take priority.

Thanks, though. I do appreciate such pings.

I'm guessing the complete form is

"... I put 99 bottles of beer... on top of the gate... I took one down, passeth it around and now we got 98 bottles of beer on top of the gate"

It says: "... I put ... on top of the gate..."

1 After these things King Ahasuerus promoted Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and advanced him and set his seat above all the princes who were with him. 2 And all the king's servants who were within the king's gate bowed and paid homage to Haman, for so the king had commanded concerning him.

But Mordecai would not bow or pay homage.

""...I put ... on top of the gate ....". "

"the FedEx package for pickup"?

The one sentence reads: "...I put ... on top of the gate ....".

My theory: "I put [my beer] on top of the gate [and then it fell off.] I, Darius, post this as a warning."
