I generally hate when people send me emails saying "This is funny" or "Worth a look". I always think it'll be bad. Except for this one time, the other day, when my good friend the Nigerian Prince emailed me about some sweet deal he's found. Being the great guy that he is, he's asking me if I want in on it. In fact, he made it so easy - all I have to do is give him my bank account details and wait for the money to come rolling in. I would be a FOOL not to do it. Right? He even offered to sell me cheap Viagra. He's definately invited to my next birthday party.
Anyway, of course I went ahead with it. Call me irrational, but I'm scared that if I don't, the love of my life won't call me back tonight, and I will have a bad sex life for the next seven years. Not only that, but statistics say I will contract gonorrhea, my shoes will turn into fish, my dinner will taste like staplers and my face might just fall off.
Let me know if you want in on this opportunity, I'd be happy to share the love.

It sounds like a great deal. I definately want in, as I, too, do not want my face to fall off.
ReplyDeleteI mostly do not like these sorts of junk e-mail, but there are the occasionaly "This is funny" ones from people that you know, that you know will actually be funny, and be worth having a look at. I don;t get these often, but when I do, they are funny.
Ben,
ReplyDeleteYou make me laugh! Thanks for your light-heartedness, and your deep thought too. I get sick of the emails encouraging me to "have a bigger penis with this miracle pill"; I am quite happy with my current resources, and I also don't associate my sense of self worth with the size of my member (too much info??? I don't know, but these emails really irritate me!)
Jono: I've added you to the list. He said the cheque should be there within a month/the next future.
ReplyDeleteI'm in the process of uploading a post of an email I actually liked.
Simon: Simon, true happiness is measured by the 'size of your member'. Ha! That's actually the last message I got in a fortune cookie.

ReplyDeleteWow Simon, good to know. I am glad that was shared over Blog and I feel so fortunate to have read all about it.
ReplyDeleteI was telling you, Ben, the other day that now Chains are being set through the phone. What is the world coming to when you can't go to a single bit of communication without having junk on it.
I have made sure on my emails that no junk comes through, it was the best move I ever made.
Forwards are crap and the people that write them should be ashamed of themselves.
If you send this comment to 20 people, your crush will confess. If you send this to 30 people your crush will ask you out. If you send this to 40 people your crush will kiss you. If you send this to 50 people you are sad, lame and pathetic.
I thought I had made that same move on my emails Loz... but lately... it's changed. It has betrayed me. What do I doooo!? Do I go through the life-traumatising experience of switching email?
ReplyDeletePS. That last bit of your comment? That was the funniest thing I've ever read that you've written..twice. Ha! Don't think deleting your comment can help you hide from the shameful fact you clicked publish twice.
I dooooo not like chain mail. And those MySpace stupid bulletins people post that have no substance whatsoever. They just say 'You opened this, now re post it with the title 'I'm pregnant' or you will have bad luck in relationships for 7 years.'
ReplyDeleteThey annoy me.
I like funny things though. I just ignore the 'pass this on' unless I know someone who will appreciate it...
It kills me a little inside everytime I go on MySpace, and see someone has posted a million bulletins that day. Mainly if they're just quizzes, or chains, or "comment my pictures".
ReplyDeleteOnce in a while is ok. 10 a day makes me want to eat my eyeballs.
