How, you ask, can one person be so lucky?  I give it all to great genes, being in the right place at the right time, and mostly, to having an email account.  Without my email account, I would have never known about these monstrous winnings.  One after another, they have poured into my inbox, informing me that my email was selected at random to win millions of British pounds sterling, Australian dollars, or in the case of the banking letters from Africa, drachmas or whatever they use over there, converted to US dollars just for lucky me.  Of course with all that money, I could retire, travel the world, and have sex just for fun.  Not much would change except I wouldn't have to worry about bills any more.  Actually, I might keep on working, just because it is fun. 

 

I've clicked on SPAM so many times in the last couple of months; I'm surprised the button still works.  What I don't understand, is why do people fall for these idiotic come-ons?  I guess I can see the first one fooling someone, but after you've gotten a couple hundred of these, the thrill is gone.  Aggravation sets in, and now I'm aggravated.  I wish they would just go away and leave my email alone!  I sincerely hope that no one loses any money to these thieves.  If you haven't heard the scam, they tell you that you are a lottery winner of millions of dollars and all you have to do is send them the tax owed on the jackpot, and it's yours.  Or that they are trying to recover millions of bucks in banks in third world countries, and at random they contacted you because you have the same name as someone involved in the original deposits.  Again, all you have to do is send some good faith money, several thousands, and you get half the millions.  Yeah, right!  I'm bummed, and tired of checking my email to find only another bullshit come on from these scammers.
