2. I heard a story on NPR
(boring but important) that they send out 100,000+ of these emails. If one percent responds thats 165 thousand bucks.

I recall my wonderful Grandmother (who is no longer with us) back in the 80's, struggling on a social security pension sending a check to Oral Roberts every month. Pissed me off to tears. religious zealot charlatans in this country are no better then these knuckleheads and their emails.

I'm still waiting to get my wonder cream in the mail that will make my manhood monstrous.

3. I'm sort of wondering why...
Edited on Thu May-22-08 03:06 PM by Kutjara
...FedEx felt entitled to open your package and inspect it's contents. Don't they have rules about that?

I'm also trying to figure out what "demur rage" (sic) is. Polite hostility? Low-key incandescence?

Anyway, your palty $800k is nothing compared to the $20,000,000 in gold a certain prince wants to split with me. I don't even have to pay him anything, just give him my bank details so he can deposit the proceeds. So there!
