Do Not Delete

b'The little counter at the bottom of my computer screen says 1,529 emails have just poured into my lap top, as I\'m sitting here on my big, comfortable, manly, black leather poppa chair in my living room. Four of them seem to be from people I know, although one that says it\'s from our son Eric claims that if I click on the attachment, I will win an all expense paid cruise to the Antarctic, with six famous porn stars to attend my every need. That\'s not the kind of email Eric usually sends. \\n\\tA whole stack of these emails are from some very nice guy in Narobi who wants to send me the money a fourth cousin twice removed left me as his only blood relative. And although I don\'t have a facebook page it has somehow attracted the attention of a bevy of Russian beauties who are desperate to have their way with me. And there are educational emails from all kinds of people. Big Louie, his own bad self always says, "Never read the educational emails or your life will disappear down a black hole."'
