In all seriousness, I was rather baffled by an E-mail I had recieved a few weeks ago. I decided to find it again and post it for you absurd-minded individuals who are keen on random humor. I know I cracked up immensely to this. Again, as hard as it is to believe, I swear this is real.

FYI, there weren't any line breaks in the n's.

... I wonder what they were trying to tell me. O_o' Have you ever recieved any bizarre E-mails?

Holy shit, that made my day. I haven't laughed this hard in like years. Please, share any other retarded emails you get with us because I'm truly laughing my ass right off teh chair. Are you sure that's real? You're pulling my leg. NO WAY THEY ACTUALLY SENT THAT TO YOU, BH4!

Edit: and omg, there weren't any line breaks inbetween the n's? UNREAL!

I imagine it would be quite funny to open up an email and see that, expecting it to be a serious email.

That's just my opinion though. It certainly doesn't have the same effect on a forum though.

amused only has one m.

i actually get emails from banks i've never heard of saying my account is out of date...

i also get the typical spam mails... viagra, special software offers, the spoof email addresses full of gibberish...

Surely you mean 'fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff uuuuuuuuuuuu'?
I was drawn to one of those 'You can work from home earning INSERT STUPID VALUE HERE a week! All you need do is send spam to every e-mail address you can think of!' websites, and before I know it I get e-mails every week asking myself why I haven't gone for it yet. I also get a classic one, again weekly...

For those of you who are slow... that's SPAM. Grr.

I get about a hundred and fifty e-mails a day, because I own a domain name. However, I have all my domain's mail forwarded to a GMail account, so I let Google's (excellent) spam filter sort it out. The only thing that surprizes me about that message is that you even opened it.
