Email humor - Dont even reply
Trawling through your inbox deleting 300 pieces of the same old Nigerian, Viagran and Pornian spam, email humor isn't necessarily the phrase that springs to mind. On the other hand, if you come across email from Don't Even Reply, and you recently placed a classified ad somewhere, you could be setting yourself up to generate plenty of humor for thousands of readers.
A gentleman who placed a classified ad looking for a good home for his old Clydesdale horse, was horrified to receive an offer from Dontevenreply, masquerading as the owner of a glue factory. "Is it still available?" he innocently asked. HELL NO was the short reply.
The horse owner got off lightly, but others can't help themselves and get drawn into long-winded to-and fro-ing conversations.
Being in the construction trade myself, my favorite involved a handyman who placed an ad, warning the public of a customer who didn't pay his bill. Boy, he rose to the bait and ended up tied in knots.
Another involved a woman looking for a mechanic to do work for her on the cheap. The wind-up merchant convinced her that she had a leak from a hydraulic headlight valve, and he would have to remove the engine to reach it. Apparently she drove to another garage for a second opinion, and made the mechanics roar with laughter when she asked how much to repair this fictitious component.
There are loads of these scenarios, mostly believable, mostly ending in Fuck you asshole. Result!
Comments run fast and furious and make you realise that this guy's posts hit readers' nerves hard, while the Pisstakers' posts only brush past almost unnoticed. Please see my latest classified...
