I am not making this up

Cleaning out old saved e-mails and I ran across this one. I wonder why I saved it...

I can't believe that I have the nerve to bother you about this, but I've played so many games of solitaire that the color is worn off the cards.

Are you still carrying the program in your pocket? If you are, could I please borrow it again? Soon!

It is my sanity after a day with these wild and crazy first graders.

Thanks.

Everyone knows that each computer monitor only comes with so much color, and once used up, will only display gray.

oh love it .... the scary thing would be if the same email came today. I would hope ANYONE teaching today would have a bit more knowledge than this?

Hi Greg,

Now the dumb questions are about Nigerian investment schemes, fake FedEx shipments, and male enhancement products. We've just gotten dumber about different things, I suspect. PT Barnum was reported to have said that no one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American people. I hope you Kiwis are a smarter breed of cat ... or bird.

All the best,

Doug
