Ah, I could use some Via.... Fake Watches...

Just got one today with the subject line "Paul got his free Viagra sample from us". Hmm...

It always amuses me that people like the head of the UN are not issued with an official email address. So they have to rely on a @hotmail address.

I keep getting emails suggesting that I could increase the size of my err.. male member. what I want to know is..... who told them ?????

I replied to one of these one day with a laconic "f*** off". Then I started to worry they may come after me or send me a voodoo curse. That was a couple of months ago though, and I'm still here, so I should be OK. I think.

Nobody tells them much, seeing as I've had a few importuning me to "make my wife happier". Colin would be very surprised to learn I had a wife. As would I!

Still haven't heard from Paul about getting this free Viagra...
