No, dimwit, Microsoft will NOT pay you for chainspamming

Ignorance continues to fight back; I got two copies of this mail yesterday:

Stupid. Stupid. Stupid.

The most sad and stupid part is that, reading down the email a bit, nearly everyone who forwarded it said something like “this is probably a hoax as it sounds too good to be true, but I’m forwarding it just in case”

Arsewits.

This’d be a bad time to tell you about the cheque I got for $42,000 from Microsoft for forwarding this email then, right?

I hear they’re going to delete the word ‘gullible’ from the spellchecker in Word too.

How ironic that you just started this OP. I just got this in my email this very morning. What a bunch of nitwits.

Just for you ultress:

In case you feel like replying to the individual who sent it to you.

[sub]Or hey! you could forward it! - it’s obviously a complete hoax, but you never know.[/sub]

Thank you, my friend. I got this email almost a year ago to begin with, now it seems to come around about every 3 months or so. Yea, right, Bill babe send me some money.

NOW what the hell am I gonna do with all this email???

Now, wait just a pea-pickin’ minute . . . does this mean that not everything I get by email is true?

That might mean that horny teenage sluts are not, in fact, waiting to fuck me right now.

Try working there.

“Hey - it’s Uncle Bob - is this TRUE??? Guhhhh-huh-huh-huh??”

“Yes. Yes, it’s true. As a shareholder, I wholeheartedly approved this stellar plan to pay people $25,000 to forward Email around so that we can, um, ‘track’ that Email, for our…Beta testing…but only if you use Windows, so that we can, um, uh…determine how Windows will…eh, it’s all Marketing anyway!”

My favorite part: “Microsoft contacted me for my address…” Hilarious! Like we don’t already have his address and everyone else’s. :smiley:

its funny.

When I first got that email a year ago, it only offered 10 dollars.

wow. Inflation I guess.
