    I recently received 2 emails I’d classify as unprofessional, but for different reasons. The first was from a choreographer soliciting business. My first problem with the email is that it was a forwarded email. I could tell because it was indented with a blue line next to it, see the picture if you don’t know…

    I’m kind of annoyed by Facebook Groups. I guess it’s not really the groups, but the fact that someone can add me to one and it defaults to me getting an email about every single bit of activity that happens in the group. During my Facebookless Lent I was added to a couple groups and…

    My friend Sam sent me this email and I found it amusing. You are driving down the road in your 2-seater sports car on a wild, stormy night, when you pass by a bus stop and you see three people waiting for the bus: An old lady who looks as if she is about to…

    This morning I checked my email and as usual had dozens of spam messages. The one that caught me of guard was one for 1% off Viagra. Have times gotten so hard that spammers can only offer a 1% discount? Please forgive the pun.

    The best way to communicate with someone is the way they want to be communicated with. Some people love text messages, some emails, others phone calls. If you are trying to reach out to someone you need to figure out their preference and use it. Using your preference may not get you too far. For…

    I’m not sure who wrote this, but I found it amusing. NSFW. I see this question posted with some regularity in the personals section, so I thought I’d take a minute to explain things to the ladies out there that haven’t figured it out. What happened to all the nice guys? The answer is simple:…

    Another Email: Like  most folks in this country, I have a job. I work, they pay me. I pay my taxes and the government distributes my taxes as it sees fit. In order to get that paycheck in my case, I am required to pass a random urine test (with which I have no problem).…

    Another email sent to me: He said to me…….I don’t know why you wear a bra; you’ve got nothing to put in it. I said to him……You wear pants don’t you? He said to me…..Shall we try swapping positions tonight? She said……That’s a good idea – you stand by the ironing board while I sit…
