Any Way You Slice It, They Still Call It Spam
Dear Dora,
Some people have no manners at all! There was this lady I met on line. Well, I didn’t actually meet her, but I read her blog one time.I started sending her the delightful forwarded e-mails I receive, sometimes there were seven or eight in a day. Some of them were hilarious! They just cracked me up.
You know the kinds I mean. Ones that bashed men (because they just deserve it) and ones that made fun of that Barracks Oboma and the creature Hillary Clinton (because they are soooo disgustingly liberal).
I sent her e-mails with jokes about those homersexual men and about those lebanese women and ones about those illegal aliens. All of those people are just a bunch of perverts! I sent her wonderfully sweet religious thoughts every day, too!
I thought she would enjoy getting to read all of these things. Maybe she would even want to blog about them!
Well, of all the nerve! That woman wrote me and asked me to take her off of my forwarding list! Can you believe that? So, to show her what for, I sent her 10 e-mails in a row.
What do you think of manners like that? I guess I showed her, didn’t I!
Signed,
Trying to be helpful
Dear Trying,
I’m sure you were very “trying!” Of all the nerve, indeed! And, yes you showed her. You demonstrated that you are a childish, self-righteous nutcase! What in the world made you think that a total stranger would want to receive forwarded e-mails from you?
Did it occur to you that perhaps that woman didn’t share your narrow-minded views about Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, homosexuals and lesbians, men, OR illegal aliens? Did it occur to you to ask her if she wanted those e-mails? Did it occur to you she might consider this offensive? Did it occur to you that some people don’t have the time to sit around and snicker over trivial junk mail from total strangers?
The unsolicited and unwanted e-mails you sent to a person you do not know are called “spam,” and like the canned “meat” they are completely unappealing, especially served by strangers. Never send forwarded e-mail to people you don’t know!
Perhaps you should take a moment to re-read those “sweet religious thoughts” you sent and start acting the part. Then, hit the delete button and go get a life!
Kiss, kiss
