Russian Minister Gets Spammed, Spams Back
elhim writes "According to an article in the Moscow Times: 'Spammers last week got on the wrong side of the wrong man, and quickly found themselves with a taste of their own medicine. The man? Deputy Communications Minister Andrei Korotkov. Tired of the endless spate of unsolicited messages that clog e-mail systems everywhere, [Korotkov and others devised] ...an audio message to be volleyed nonstop to the telephone numbers listed in the... [email] spam messages.' Sometimes Russia reminds me of the Wild West."
My cant my elected representatives be so forthright (sighs)
Providence, RI, Yesterday while stopped at a shopping center for removable media, Marc Doughty parked his car within two inches of some lady who's Corolla was taking two spaces. Marc went into the store to do his shopping, when he returned the Corolla's middle-aged female owner was crawling over her passenger seat to enter her vehicle. When Marc approached his car (smile wide on his face) the woman spoke, "You blocked me in!" she said. Marc replied, "I'm parked in the nice painted lines, you aren't I'm following the rules, you're not. You blocked yourself in."
"But there was a carriage in the way!"
"That's why the transmission has the 'park' feature, so you can get out and move carriages out of the way, no excuse for a Corolla to take two spaces in a busy lot."
"What the hell are you talking about?"
"Apparently you don't understand manners. We all need to follow the rules, normally your blatant rudeness would go unpunished, but as long as I'm around you can bet I'll be enforcing order."
"OH-KAY?!?"
Seriously though, I'm now the official road-politeness enforcer. If you drive very recklessly or double-park, or throw trash out your window and I see it you'll now earn yourself a spitting-on, car-keying, or a call to the state police. I'm considering stink bombs and/or brake fluid spattering ('better get MAACO' after that). Watch yourself from Boston to Cranston, RI, I'm on duty.
