Ben'ny Springer's Final Thought

We can all be subject to these requests for our bank details over e-mails, but it's how we react that define us. Some people get mad and send ranty e-mails back. Some people are dismissive and move to trash hopeing they will give up. But there are a few people. Just a few people who genuinly believe that wasting someone's time and laughing quietly into a keyboard is worth more than measured responses and considered balanced common sense. Such a response pangs of a person who understands the true value of simple pleasures and should - without any moment of pause be considered a hero of our time.

Such people include:
This chap
And him
Oh - and this bloke obviously
And of course - myneself

So next time you get spam through your letterbox - or the next time you need to send an interdepartmental memo at work and you have some more time to kill - or even if you've been rung by a busy telemarketer and it was `such a god-incident for you to phone, I was about to phone [the competitor] because we've been granted this afternoon planning permission for a £65k extension but you jsut can't find the pen so you ask them to ring back in five minutes all evening long` - spare a thought to making the most of the situation and remember - there aint no fun like pushing the boundries of social decorum and common idiocy.

    Great idea! If we all become time wasters spam of all forms will become history!

    ... and yet the norm... Indeed the hunted will become the hunter!

    ...that is, the spammed will become the spammer, the hoaxed the hoaxer, the victim the protagonist.... oh shut up!...... this is getting just too Beavis and Butt head.

    BTW: did you send the links to Doc Salam?
