      I have analyzed it all and apparently the people sending me these spam messages know my plight.

      I need a bigger penis

      I need teen sluts who suck **** on webcams

      And apparently I shouldn't be telling anyone this but this nice man in nigeria , who is the lawyer in charge of my long lost grand father mutambi wikimbo is trying to get me $5 million american dollars but I have to pay a tax of $5 thousand american dollars to nigeria and he will gladly handle it for me.What a swell guy.

    I remember a time when the size of my genitalia wasn't an issue.

    I remember when I never had any Korean friends.

    I remember a time when I went to the pharmacist for a drug I needed, not the pharmacist asking me which drugs I wanted to buy online.

    I remember when consolidating a loan was a big decision instead of "just a click away!".

    I remember a time where when I left high school, there was no chance in hell I'd ever have to hear from those nitwits again.

    God, I miss those days.

  10. Gelfling's Axiom of Irrelevant eMail by gelfling · · Score: 4, Funny

    Is this:

    90% of all eMail is useless the moment it arrives in your inbox.

    The First Corollary of eMail age is this:

    All remaining eMail is useless no more than one year after the moment it arrives in your inbox.

    The Second Corollary of eMail age is this:

    eMail accidently deleted will become instantly irrelevant or it will be resent without your request.
