Now you too can enjoy my Inbox without the annoying spam. Every week I get some amazing e-mail. Some amazing because of the sheer cluelessness of the sender, some because of the time and energy that went into crafting them and some are just simply amazing.
BBelievers

no verizon news release on can you hear me now guy - link to your sources...
Me: What?
geeky brian!
see your link re can you hear me now story... sources for that? verizon doesn't have that on their news release page...
Me: It happened a while back if you check the year on the story, they
probably don't have it up any more.
not likely larger news sites would miss that one, its too good - i'll continue researching - glad to hear you read it direct from verizon, i'll just call their pr person. keep up those journalistic standards!
I pride myself on my journalistic standards. I'm an award-winning* journalist** who always doublechecks*** sources, and never**** prints false stories.
* Third place Humor Feed satire awards 2005, 2006.
** Very loosely defined
*** If doublechecks means "never" then this is true
**** Almost always
That's all for today. Stay geeky!
