let's laugh at spam You know you're having a bad day when the day's half over and the best thing you've heard all day comes from spam. But this one had a pretty clever subject line:

"I poured Spot remover on my dog. Now he's gone."

Funny, funny stuff. I liked it so much I signed up for the low, low mortgage rate they were peddling.

Yes, I'm kidding.  ¶ monger187 wrote this on 4/25/2005 0 comments

  congrats to me On April 7, 2005, the monger 187 family grew by 33.3% (rounded to the nearest tenth of one percent). Congratulations to me, my wife, big brother, and my new son.  ¶ monger187 wrote this on 4/21/2005 0 comments

  new pope Well, it seems we have a new pope. I'd like to weigh in on new pope. Personally, I like old pope better. New pope is too sweet, and just doesn't seem to retain the original flavor of old pope. It's as if they changed the pope recipe altogether. It just will never be quite the same without old pope. Maybe if we are lucky, they will eventually give us pope classic.

Please post comments about how offended you are about the previous statements.  ¶ monger187 wrote this on 4/19/2005 0 comments

  april fools fools Frankly, I'm sick of all this April Fools Day crap. The way I see it, April Fools Day is the one day of the year that people with no sense of humor try to be funny. And the results ain't pretty. For those of us who act like fools on the other 364 days a year, it just seems pretty sad for these poor suckers who can't be funny to save their lives.

The April Fools Day people are basically like the "C & E Christians." You know these people, the ones who go to church twice a year, on Christmas and Easter. For them, this is all the spirituality they feel is necessary in their lives. The rest of the year, they are just like all the non-Christians, but on Christmas and Easter, look out, they's church-going, Godly folks. Amen!

Well, it's just the same for the April Fools People. They have no humor in their lives throughout the year, then all of a sudden, they think they can just be funny for one day. People, it just doesn't work that way. Humor, like Christianity, is something you need to work at, practice, nurture. You can't just decide that one day out of the year you can be funny. Just like you can't just be a Christian for one day of the year. You just end up looking pathetic and sad. You report another team's performance numbers inaccurately and think it's the most hilarious thing to happen since you saw that monkey who plays the cymbals.

Here's the bottom line: you need to practice humor in your daily lives. Study it, live it, read it, be it. Get it here or get it somewhere else. Just get humor. Your colleagues will thank you for it.  ¶ monger187 wrote this on 4/01/2005 0 comments
