E-Dribble

A couple of days ago, a comment was posted on one of the spam posts stating that they almost fell for it and thanking me for my service.

It was at that point I realized that I had unwittingly provided a service.  There is a market for smartass.  More importantly though I wondered – How secure is your future if the only thing standing between you and financial ruin is some pompous dipshit that amuses himself by replying to Nigerian scam artists?  Oh, and he’s located at the far corner of the intardnet.  The corner that doesn ‘t even get swept.

Seriously.  I wrote these and posted them completely to amuse myself.  As the comments and emails began building, I came to realize that I have single-handedly kept a roof over these peoples’ heads.

And do they pay me for my invaluable service?  No.  I’ve never even received one of those cute talking cards.  The way I figure it, they would have lost everything, had it not been for me.  For this incredible feat, I feel that I deserve at least half of what they own.

It’s 50% more than the Nigerian would have left them.
