Do you know what happens when the same email gets forwarded again and again and finally reaches you?
No?
Okay, I'll try something else.
Do you know those Russian puppets that have a small one in the middle and a couple of bigger ones around them?
Good.
Because that's exactly how one of those emails I mentioned tends to look.
I call them "onion mails".
An email with an attachment that's supposed to be very entertaining (usually a Power Point presentation)
wrapped in an email
wrapped in another email
wrapped in yet another email
wrapped in at least one more email
that ends up in your inbox.
And I know at least one person that wouldn't reach the "bottom" of such an email without my help ^_^
But that one with the funny sayings by German soccer players really rocked. Even I didn't know most of 'em ;)
€dit: Just did their quiz on Blackadder the Third (it's my fave of all BA series). Got ninety percent, I only messed up once cuz I don't know the name of every minor actor by heart. I could've done 100% if that one had been a bloody plot question like all the others -_-
(from Blackadder II, episode 6, "Chains")
Ludwig: You find yourself amusing, Blackadder.
Edward: I try not to fly in the face of public opinion.
Ludwig: You know, I think, I think that a week from now, you'll be less in the mood for being amusing.
Edward: At least when I am in the mood, I can be amusing.
Love that episode! I just adore Hugh Laurie as Ludwig the Indestructable, and his "German" accent or whatever that was supposed to be *lol* And he's kinda... er... cool, too ^o^
