I Hate Messy Emails

I hate messy emails.

I know you get them. Somebody sends you an email that has been sent and forwarded to

The gobblety goop text goes on and on.

All that messy text bogs down my brain and I rarely read the forwarded email. I have a short attention span you know.

If the email has a lot of reading to do and or a puzzle then I don’t bother. It makes me mad to read for a few minutes and it not funny or insightful. I hate puzzles. I can smell the ozone coming from my brain when I work on puzzles.

I don’t think most people think all those email are funny. The reason they send them on is to prove that they are popular enough to get an email from someone else. Then they leave the crap on the email to show where it’s been like a well traveled passport.

I have an old college pal that forwards the best emails. It’s mostly guy stuff. They are so good for the most part that I have a special alarm that rings when one of his emails comes in. I know it going to be funny and I know it will be cleanly formatted. They will be a funny picture or video usually. If they are naughty he has the courtesy to put “Shoulder Check” on the subject line.
