So today, I get a spam with this as the subject line...

Never again will you be capable of love, or friendship, or joy of living, or laughter, or curiosity, or courage, or integrity.

Ouch! That's harsh!

And I don't even think the stock-tip inside was a good one!
I'm going back to fortune cookies...

Nah, its OK. I just did your cards and apparently you're going to be a giant name in the publishing world and make a new friend every month for the rest of your life. You'll throw the best parties and in later life will write a book which encapsulates and makes available in easy format, for the whole world, the secret of happiness. You will be worshipped as a guru, except in your own family where they'll continue to treat you normal.
You'll feel curiously compelled though to give me half your fortune, but hey, you'll be so rich you'll never miss it. :D

Half sounds good... ;o)

(That's probably a better deal that the stock offer, too.)

Can we all have a reading like this one LW?

Spam is too much, but at least you don't get the old 'I am a young Russian girl looking over my pictures tonight...' I have no idea how I got on that spam list, sheeesh!

Wow, maybe they were selling anti-depressents and hoped that if you got depressed enough, you would buy. :P

Yeah, I can't imagine why they would think that line would make anyone want to open the darn thing!

Understand that many Asian markets have only the loosest grasp on what sells to Westerners. A while back, my brother sent me a photo of a sign in some unspecified country (too much of the original language was cut off for me to make a guess.) The English portion of the sign said, "Highest Price, Guaranteed."

Awwwww! But that will teach you to get fortunes--and stock tips--from your spambox. :nods:

Yeah, dratted spam!

Good grief, that is harsh, no kidding. Bring on the cookie!

Or, better still, the Hagaan das (sp?) and a bunch of spoons, and we'll make a target out of this little spam and throw darts at it.

Oooo, and ladywolf gave you a wonderful reading, but tell her that she can only have half your fortune if she gives me half of her half :0)

You could do like Ivan the Fool and offer half of it to the two people who annoy you the most....
