The invention of the internet by Al Gore in 1994 revolutionized the
modern world, by providing companies and private individuals the ability to send
information through “cyber space” faster than the Millennium Falcon in Star Wars .
Everything pure is eventually infiltrated by corruption. Have we forgotten about Adam,
Eve, the snake, and an apple?
Recently I have been getting emails with the title “Your Funds are
Available” or “(insert name of country here) Lottery” Scam artists in Africa and in the
United Kingdom are claiming that they need my help to collect all this money by me
depositing there check in my account and then sending them a small amount back. It
turns out the check you deposit is a fake, and the amount you send to the person in need is
his profit. Like my grandmother always told me “If it sounds too good chances are it is.”
Not one day after I got that e-mail and deleted it I saw on the news a Monica Lewinsky
look-a-like crying because all of her money was gone. She had been scammed. Oprah
probably would invite her on her show if she didn't already have the rest of the year
booked. It is hard to have free time on the Oprah show. What with giving away homes,
and cars, and everything else she gives away. It is sad that some one would accept money
from a complete stranger without even wondering if it was reliable or not. Her momma
raised a fool.
Another set of emails that have been unfortunately been flooding my inbox
like millions of locust to an Australian farms, is a Herbal Supplement that guarantees to
allow my penis to grow 10%. A bunch of bollocks is what it is. God gave me everything
I've got, and by God I plan on keeping it that way. If it really worked then why would a
company be sending me all of these emails thru others rather than a direct contact? I have
an idea, I will send the company a check for a large settlement that I have recently
acquired, and all they have to do is deposit it and send me a small portion of the money
back. I think that 10% of the amount would be acceptable.
Chain mail letters were popular with snail mail, and somehow chain mail“upgraded” to emails. I hate it when someone sends me a letter with some overly-hyped
spiritual or inspiring message with a note on the bottom telling me “You need to forward
this to 10 others so that a Guardian Angel will watch over you so you do not hit a deer
crossing the highway like in this story.” New flash Aunt Jane (where most of the chain
emails I get come from) I already hit a deer and totaled my car!!!
now i know your not listening to me when i talk to you at
thanksgiving!
Not all emails are bad. I am sending out pictures of Thanksgiving to my
family, and emailing my family the wedding information they have requested. The only
thing you can do to get rid of those annoying emails that put your balls in a vice grip is to
simply hit delete when you do not like what you see in the subject line… oh and say five“Hail Mary's.”
