Then, of course, you have the cockroaches of the Internet, the spammers themselves, who deserve nothing less than to be cast into a swirling sucking pit of despair, where they will spend eternity taking 80% of the overdose level of Phentermine, Viagra, and Rogaine, while being forced to play a version of Texas No Hold ‘Em Poker where the losers will get forcible breast implants … if they’re male … and penis enlargements for the rare spamming woman.



Someone did a study of the three most-often-heard phrases in New York City. One is "Hey, taxi." Two is, "What train do I take to get to Bloomingdale's?" And three is, "Don't worry. It's just a flesh wound." -- David Letterman
