More spam

Just received a spam message that start out like this:

Let's get one thing out of the way immediately - I am not a business. I'm just an individual offering you some information which I have found beneficial to me. This isn't some hocus pocus hair-brained scheme that's not exactly legal.

It's an MLM scheme, of course. And in my barely-awake state it occurred to me that they really should've started out like this:

Let's get one thing out of the way immediately—I'm out to make a fast buck, and I think you're dumb as toast.

Hey, truth in advertising. Honesty can get you a long way. MLM for dummies!

(I have Susan to thank for the phrase "dumb as toast," btw. (Not in her journal, in email.))
