"The Lord Has Chossen You As A Vessel"
My favorite spam e-mail of the week.
The Lord has "chossen" me as a vessel? The Lord should get spell-check.
Unfortunately, "The Lord" never got around to e-mailing me to tell me exactly what kind of vessel I'd be. Nuclear sub? Empty Pellegrino bottle? Microwaveable fish cooker?
A very nice lady in Nigeria says she'll ask him and get back to me -- if only I'll give him my bank account numbers so he can be sure it's really me.
I guess all it takes is one dumbshit in a million.
While we're in the land of, well, irrational thought...how would you feel about voting for a presidential candidate who said, in all seriousness:
"I have a simple philosophy – we need to take the tooth fairy more seriously and ourselves less seriously.’’
I mean, we have no evidence the tooth fairy exists, so the guy would have to be a light in the thinky department, huh? Same as if he said what he really said, which is:
I have a simple philosophy – we need to take God more seriously and ourselves less seriously.’’
I think we need to take Zeus more seriously, but only when I have a really bad fever.
Nuclear sub? Freudians are proud of you!
See, they operate by the continuous service of a couple of hundred sailors!

Well, I'm no dummy! Not even in my subconscious.

I get my share of Nigerian spam, but I've never understood this one. Every time I write a cheque I give someone my bank account number, so what? Matching a name, address, and a/c# confers absolutely no privilege to draw dosh from the account.

I think those sailors are called 'seamen'. (har har!)

Clearly, I haven't really gone through this, Stu. But, somehow, really gullible/greedy people help others fuck them out of a pile of money.

Dearest lady, you are a vessel of wit and wisdom, and your cup runneth over. Whether the Lord chooseth thee for such an office, I cannot say, but knowest thou that I chooseth thee for that office, and thou fillest it ably and well.

Ya know, I've always fantasied about starting my own cult. Haveing almost totl control over another persons will has got to be exciting.
I wonder how many religions were started as a means to grow a harem.

>>But, somehow, really gullible/greedy people help others fuck them out of a pile of money.
The standard way is that these gullible/greedy people, almost unbelievably, allow themselves to be conned into paying "transfer fees" and the like...IN ADVANCE!!!!!
Ha-ha, I just cracked up at the thought of a huge guy in Nigerian tribal costume walking into my bank and saying "I'm Stu. Give me all my money, in used 50s"

"I wonder how many religions were started as a means to grow a harem."
Definitely the Mormons!
Speaking of cults, I'm going to Rome soon, and will be viewing all the wealth and material splendour of a certain religious group. Don't really understand the connection between obscene amounts of wealth and spirituality. Maybe someone can explain it to this little heathen?
