This one is actually funny

OK, so we all know that chain/spam emails are the spawn of the devil, but I came across one that is an exception to this:

    Damn that’s V funny stuff. Looking forward to doing something similar with my next Bord Gais bill – raising their prices in these times when oil’s falling so much GRR!!

    Sorry folks, but that isn’t the least bit funny. In fact, it isn’t even humorous. Why? Because lots of perfectly ordinary people – people somewhat like me – have a spider phobia. If you think about it for a minute (some of you will unfortunately require a considerably longer period of time), this phobia might ring a bell (not literally). It’s called Arachnophobia. Yes, that’s right, it was a movie! In layman’s terms (hopefully you’ve been laid & are therefore able to follow along) it means a fear of spiders. A person who finds a large spider hiding in an email will likely have a really terrible moment, perhaps even a lethal heart-related ‘incident’. So if you want to kill somebody, send them an email with an attached spider. But if you are sincere about wanting to clear up a financial misunderstanding, a drawing of a flower would be much better.

    I don’t think for a second this actually happened, and I would have to search long and hard for someone who’d actually attempt the stunt in the email.

    Anyway, it was written as a joke. I seriously doubt someone’d continue a correspondence for that long, money or no money. Wouldn’t ringing the person be a much more efficient solution?

    True lots of people have a spider phobia, but do I agree with you saying that if they got this particular email they’d have a heart attack? Not a chance in hell. This is a crude drawing of one with a smiley face probably done in Paint. Not gonna kill someone.

    As for the flower, yes, but do remember, this is a joke. This didn’t happen. This is something someone did on a Sunday afternoon because they were bored.

    And by the way, if you’re planning to stick round, I only have one rule here, when it comes to comments. I support free speech and all that but I have zero tolerance for sarcastic jerks trying to be funny by making personal attacks (“some of you will unfortunately require a considerably longer period of time”). If the rest of your post hadn’t had valid points I felt I should address, I would’ve chucked your comment in the bin.

    If Larry has a fear of spiders, how come he managed to read the post and then leave a comment?
