    I’m a reasonable guy. No, really, I am. But there’s something I don’t get. Since the beginning of April, via the wonders of spam, I have been offered:

    • 3312 hours free online with AOL
    • 45 dates with singles in my area
    • 2250 business cards saving me £675
    • Almost 5ft of penis extensions
    • A 17inch increase in penis girth
    • 16 sets of Iraq’s Most Wanted playing cards
    • 23 bj’s
    • 62 refinance mortgages
    • 64 free mobile phones

    Can someone explain the concept to me using small words and visual aids?

    If you’re anything like I used to be, you’ll know exactly how much you’re being paid, right down to the minute. It was the only way to get through the day…

    I was just recalling the other day the joy of being told by a manager “The bucket at the other end of the store is missing the drip from the ceiling - could you move it please?”, meaning that I had to stop what I was doing to move a bucket by no more than an inch which the manager had obviously seen not catching the drip, yet clearly decided to use his management ’skill’ to solve the problem, rather than actually move the bucket. So, you know, if you played your duty manager role accordingly, it might not be so bad.

    Actually, this is the same manager who made me clean up a spilled tin of paint with paper towels. Great guy.
