Doug Ramsey on Jazz and other matters...

Knock, Knock

I have had unbelievable luck lately. Just this morning, I got an e-mail message notifying me that I have won a million Euros in the Royal Spanish Sweepstakes Lottery, another from the son of a murdered bank official in Kenya who will make me rich for helping him invest his inheritance, and one from a merchant in Dubai who led a selfish life, but now that he is dying of a particularly hideous form of cancer, wants to give his fortune to charity and would like me to help him dispose of it. As if that weren’t enough, I’ve been offered a huge stockpile of Viagra at bargain prices. What opportunities the internet brings.
Have a nice weekend.
