Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

Wow . . . you pay $110 and get $11,000,000 in return? That's a pretty good return on investment!

And it involves a South African bank, so it's not one of those Nigerian scams.

And with the FBI involved, it MUST be legit!

Let us know how long it takes you to get your card . . .

By the way, if you're interested in winning a multi-million dollar jackpot, I have some old lottery tickets I'll be happy to sell you for 10 cents each - you get a 90% discount, and still have almost the same chance of winning!

Isn't "rest assured" a hyphenated word?   :laugh:

I know.  It has become a common adjective phrase on radio commercials.

I wonder if this was written by a scammer at all?  As popular a meme as the "Nigerian Scam" is, wouldn't you be tempted to write one yourself, for the amusement of others?  This could be the latest art form!

Eh, just play the lottery. Your chances at the big bucks are statistically indiscernible from the scams and just as likely to take your money.

I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought
