I get those things all the time to my e-mail. I could now have enough money to buy Nigeria! dave

"I AM NOT A ILLNESS" is always the tipoff.

If you have the time the best way to deal with these characters, and have some fun at the same time, can be found here: www.419eater.com Enjoy!

Just about fell off my chair when I read "I AM NOT A ILLNESS." Priceless!

My wife and I adopted some kids from Haiti a number of years ago. One, who is now 18 and has some learning disabilities, talks just like that email. She has only lived here now for 9+ years. One of the things she says that drives us out of our minds is "twallet paper" (say it with a French-Creole accent).

Don't get me wrong, we all love her to pieces and we are all a happy family. I just had to have Fergeni "universal translaters" surgically implanted in my ears. They double as a filter for when my wife and I are arguing about rocks I just say "they are not translating correctly so I don't understand what you are saying".

I know I am in my own little world, but everyone knows me here.

I got this junk also. Interesting I'm not alone here.
