Got this e-mail — My Alphabe-Thursday (2nd), the letter "S" / Thursday Two Questions —

.
"Got this e-mail:"

Today my "S" is for Smile and for Spam.  When I get these crazy Spam e-mailings I generally Smile.  They may be funny jokes, they may be malicious to my computer, or they may be stupid things that no one should believe (big whoppers about elected officials or candidates are prime, so also are those that tell you about how the government or big business is ripping you off, etc).

First, smile when you see this YouTube showing what happened to Mark's computer when he clicked on something he should not have:

MARK LEUNG'S CRAZY COMPUTER BUG

Now, to share the first Spam e-mail that I got (smile, please):

Date: Tue Mar 26 20:26:14 CDT 2013
From: "[him]" Add To Address Book
Subject: DONATIONS:
To: "[us]" 
 

"A driver was stuck in a traffic jam on the highway outside Washington, DC. Nothing was moving. Suddenly, a man knocks on the window.   The driver rolls down the window and asks, "What's going on?"   "Terrorists have kidnapped the entire US Congress, and they're asking for a $100 million dollar ransom. Otherwise, they are going to douse them all in gasoline and set them on fire. We are going from car to car, collecting donations." "How much is everyone giving, on an average?" the driver asks.   The man replies, "Roughly a gallon."   And then another that no one is his right mind should fall for (I really did get both of these); a second Spam e-mail that I got (smile, please): Date: Wed Mar 27 04:13:56 CDT 2013 From: "[her]"   Add To Address Book Subject: Send a copy?  To: [me] "My man should be able to make me smile... I hope that you would be happy to get acquainted with appealing, young girl with a quiet and patient character. I am very gentle, careful and romantic. I am very communicative, kind, and calm. I really want to like and to be loved. Can you help me with this step to you? My dream is to create a happy and friendly family, to be the best mother for my children and the most caring wife for my beloved man. I'm not waiting for a perfect man, I understand that we all have lacks. So if you are responsible and caring man, I would like to know you better http://xxxxxxxx.com I  like to meet with you." - - - - -

Now for my Thursday Two Questions.

My post last week was about "R" word things, Red colored things that I had found on the golf course.
My Two Questions for this week (you can answer just one if you wish):.

1. What is your reaction to e-mailings that came to you as Spam?
I like some of them so much that I put them on my other blog, me, old blogs never read, and . . . that I don't publicise but is mostly for me.  A few will read it now and then.

2. What do you think about e-mailing the sender back telling the truth or your viewpoint?  Would your answer be different if it was a friend doing the sending?
Before I decided it was not nice I would send him back a Spoof Report from one of the blog sites that answer for the truthfulness of chain-e-mails.

Bonus Question:

1. What is your favorite "S" word?
