This apology appeared in the small ads in an Australian paper: http://www.passiveaggressivenotes.com/2013/07/16/hand-apology/

What possibly could the circumstances be? Could it be a coded message?

Of course if this would be better suited to a different thread then please move it.

I doubt if a coded message would draw attention to itself so luridly. So many details and no clear narrative. The volunteer status, the cleaning oif the basin, the amputation of a hand seem to be details that loom large in someone's disturbed thoughts . . .

Makes a change from those Prayers to Saint Jude. Spiny
