The lateness of this column is due to my waiting to see if anything interesting actually showed up in spam this week. Apart from hearing cheap Viagra called “testromaniac pillules”, it’s the normal batch of meds, watches, Nigerian princes, and UK lotteries.
Except for one message inquiring whether I need any plastic molding or plastic parts from a factory in Dongguan, China. Which, considering the state of the economy, might actually be an authentic email; with all the businesses going out of business and scaling back production, I could see the Chinese manufacturers looking to pick up some extra bucks by randomly asking strangers if they need molds made of anything in particular.
To tell the truth, not much struck me as either funny or important in this week’s batch. So I post this purely to maintain the numbers at the top.
New episode underway. More posts in the following week.
