SPAM EMAILS AND MY PACKAGE IS FINE!!!!

Now, I can take this topic a few different ways. I can make it rated PG, R or even worse. It is this fact that I have to made it a topic in my blog.

The old saying "there is a sucker born everyday" must be on the wall of every office that sends out this junk. Most of us that get these emails immediately delete them, but they must work, otherwise they wouldn't be sending them. I am fascinated by the companies that have decided that this is the mark their company wants to leave on the world. If ALL spam emails were from fraudulent companies it would be easier to shut the spam down. The fact is some well known companies use this as a way of invading us. I would think a company that, gave you a snickers candy bar and then tells you if you to send 5 candy bars to 5 of your friends, you would be guaranteed 50 candy bars in one month, that would work. That scheme would be much better than the ones I keep getting.

I get around 40-60 spam emails per day around 30% are from Nigeria or some country that wants to give me untold riches. I pass. 10% are from some companies that are trying spam as a form of advertising but the bulk of the emails are from Viagra or some penis enlargement scheme. Now, I have never checked into penis growth stuff on my computer. I have never sent away for any "bigger is better" potion. In fact, I thought I was doing fine in that area. I know we all measure from different points but I think I am fine no matter what system you are using to measure. Clearly. the word in the spam offices is that I need help! Even if I needed help, I have now been married for 14 years and my wife knows what she is getting each time we say goodnight so it might just confuse things if I was a different size. I think I may return one of the emails that says "I am married and my wife knows its too late for repair." I wish Viagra would back off as well. I definitely don't need that. In fact if they make an "Anti Viagra" they might want to send me a free sample of that.

I know most of you are saying "this is WAY too much information!" I agree and as soon as the spam stops I will stop.

New England plays Indy today. This is going to be a great game and to be honest with you I have no idea who is going to win. We won again yesterday and are looking to having another winning week if today goes well.

Denver+3, Houston+3 and the Tampa Bay game to have more than 38 points. These are the 3 releases for today.

Consider them a free gift from the anti spam handicapper. Hope your week goes well. Going to Tulsa for a poker tournament this week. I will let you know how it is going.
