If You Really Don't Want To Know

Yoda saw this one coming...

Whoever helps the scammers set up their email templates probably needs a better understanding of the English language.

Especially when writing to someone like me.

Case in point:  a scammer starts their ploy with this email header:


What Has Kept You Waiting?  


They then go on with this nonsense:
Attention Please,

"What has kept you waiting?"....even my pet rock, Seymour, heard the *TOING* that created.

Asked...and answered:

What has kept me waiting?  Lessee:

1. Busy signal
2. Internet down
3. Bird strike
4. A constipated mathematician who worked it out with a pencil
5. My pencil
6. Had to get a new pencil
7. The store was out of pencils
8. F**k
9. #8 was a colorful metaphor, not pleasurable interlude
10. Traffic
11. Weather
12. Religion
13. Politics
14. Time
15. Space
16. The continuum therewith
17. No sugar tonight in my coffee
18. No sugar tonight my tea
19. No sugar to stand beside me
20. No sugar to run with me
21. Repeat 8

I could go on...do you need me to?  

 

 

The deafening silence that followed my character's response suggests that no...they don't need me or my character to go on.

 

One day, they'll figure out not to ask stuff like that of me.  Or my characters.
