My inspiration for this post came from my dear, longtime blogging friend, Debbie @ Musings by an ND Domer's Mom, who is not only a gifted...
More than anything…I HATE getting email jokes forwarded to me from people who under the severe delusion that I enjoy them.You know the ones I‘m talking about….
The emails that arrive, which have been forwarded from about 50 thousand other people, who have nothing better to do with their lives, than to send NOT funny jokes.
I also can’t stand getting those annoying email chain letters that come with specific threatening instructions to forward it to 10 people who you love…or you will have a horrible destiny.
(and considering all the chain letters I’ve deleted…I guess I should be dead by now)
I use to know this guy, who knew absolutely nothing about a computer, except how to turn it on, and forward emails.
That’s it!
At night, he would literally sit a home for hours and hours, and receive countless email jokes from friends all over the country, and then forward them to all his unfortunate friends here.
I would get (no lie) 5-7 email jokes a day. And almost everyone of them came with attachments and photos…and some of them with animated jokes.
(and they were about as funny as getting a paper cut on your lip)
I put up with this torture for a few weeks and then finally told him one day, to STOP SENDING ME FRIGGIN’ EMAIL JOKES...I HATE THEM!!!
And did he stop?
NO!
In fact, not only did he keep sending me jokes…but one night, instead of just emailing me the web address of a photography site he wanted me to look at…he emailed me ALL FIVE PAGES of the web site!
And this is man who’s owned a computer for the past 7 years.
Why???
Finally, I just put him on my email block list and never told him.
And every time I saw him he’d say, “Oh…weren’t those jokes I sent you last night a RIOT?”
“Yea, a total riot…in fact, I’m still laughing."
