Congrateulate me! |
Over the past week I've won four or five $500.00 gift cards from a major
chain. I know they are different because they all come from different web
sites.
But today was the big day.
(I'm supposed to keep this confidential so don't tell anybody)
I WON the Irish sweepstakes! Four Million Pounds!
And I didn't buy a ticket.
I can't get over there to pick it up so I'll sell my winnings at twenty five
cents to the dollar. First come first served.
Don't read below this line if a potential buyer of my ticket.

Ha! That's nothing. I win the British lottery several times a day,
according to these emails from Holland.

Dude, you're a piker. I get about a dozen $500 gifts a day in my e-mail
inbox. Provided that I tell the sender if I like Coke or Pepsi better
(actually, I most often drink Diet Mountain Dew, but no one ever asks
about that). And I've won several Europrean and Asian lottery jackpots
over the past couple of months.
Also, I'm apparently known all over the internet as a totally
trustworthy soul. I have received requests to move nearly a billion
dollars in lost account money into America from Africa. It's a damn fine
living... in thory, at least. {;-)

Hey! You couldn't have won. I got an Email saying that I won! Anyway,
I'm still waiting for all of those Nigerians to transfer all of that
money into my bank account. Gosh! I hope that I didn't send them the
wrong account number.
......NOT!

It's fun sometimes.
Here's mine: I'm selling headaches, 39.95 each. You get the headache
when you realize you haven't received it. You get another headache
when you call me asking where the promised headache is. I charge extra
for that one. You get a third headache when you try to back out of the
deal. That one costs 59.99 because now I got you and won't let go.
Kind of like religion, no?

What do I owe you for getting a headache while reading your offer?
What do *I* get for causing your headache while trying to collect for the
headache you caused me?

Pity the poor supermarket check-out clerk, seeing my phone company
badge, asked if there's anything I could do about her $500 phone bill.
Seems that a sweepstakes she never entered had her call their toll
number repeatedly, to ensure delivery of the "prize". I simply told
her she ain't gonna win anything she didn't enter, and that legit
lotto has rarer odds than being struck by lightning. So get a lotto
ticket once in a while and skip the shams.

Sure but winning the Irish lottery has been a scam for a long time.
This wasn't a clearing house offer with 3 point type explaining the low
probability of winning.
