Category Archives: Emails we get

Funny little email came in today

Posted on by

A friend sent me this email. Little did she know that I have seen this before in Florida. My half brother Dan took me fishing and we had to drive past a bunch of lazy alligators. I voiced some concern, because he said we were going to wade waste deep, in brackish water, to get to the fish. Dan said not to worry about the alligators, it’s the sting rays that we should worry about… Sting rays?

Here is the Email:

Subject: FW: Florida Road Sign

There were comments along the spam path like “I bet the alligators put up the sign”.

Thanks Cate.

Wrong Book Store Email

Posted on by

Honestly when I got this one, I read it, and well, I did not see how it was funny. I was reading Wong Fook and Hing Book as two separate objects. My office mate was laughing at me, because I did not see what was so funny. I was thinking there should be an apostrophe there… Wong’s or Fook’s Hing-store. I started to think, hinge-store, of course it’s a hinge store, not a book store. Not Funny. Well I am an idiot or I just don’t swear enough.

Here is the joke email in all it’s email glory:

If you can’t find the book 
you want


You’re probably shopping 
at the
wrong &*^%$ book store email image

Thanks Scott. I get it now. I blame it on not having enough coffee this morning.

If you read the store name out loud it may help.

Email on What High-Fructose Corn Syrup Can Do

Posted on by

This email arrived today.

See what high-fructose corn syrup can do!

STATUE RETURNED TO ITALY !!!!

healthy diet David

After a two year visit to the United States, Michelangelo’s David is returning to Italy . . .

high fructose diet David

His Proud Sponsors were:

bk 4-bucks mky-d kfc

I don’t get the sponsor reference though they do offer less healthy diet choices they don’t seem to be chief culprits of infusing too much fructose into our diets as soda pop manufactures and general food manufacturers. Still I got a chuckle out of the email. Thanks Paul for spamming me with this one.

Fun Determine Your Age Email

Posted on by

OK this one is cool. I suspect one of our Indian friends was the originator from the travel to india yahoo link at the end.

YOUR AGE BY EATING OUT
Don’t tell me your age; you probably would tell a falsehood anyway –
but your waiter may know!

YOUR AGE BY DINER & RESTAURANT MATH

This is pretty neat

DON’T CHEAT BY SCROLLING DOWN FIRST!

It takes less than a minute. Work this out as you read. Be sure you don’t read the bottom until you’ve worked it out! This is not one of those waste of time things, it’s fun.

1. First of all, pick the number of times a week that you would like to go out to eat. (more than once but less than 10)

2. Multiply this number by 2 (just to be bold)

3. Add 5

4. Multiply it by 50 (get the calculator out)

5. If you have already had your birthday this year add 1759……
Or if you haven’t, add 1758.

6. Now subtract the four digit year that you were born.

You should have a three digit number

The first digit of this was your original number. (I.e., How many times you want to go out to restaurants in a week.)

The next two numbers are

YOUR AGE ! —— (Oh YES, it is!)

Now how does this work! THIS IS THE ONLY YEAR (2009) IT WILL EVER WORK, SO SPREAD IT AROUND WHILE IT LASTS.

Swine Flu E-mails

Posted on by

Well, we got a couple versions of this image from friends this week.

Swine Flu Image

The email subject line said “Scientists are still baffled as to what could be causing the swine flu.”

It is important to point out that now that the virus is in the human population it is more appropriate to call the virus H1N1 not swine flu.
