Humodour Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 So I got an email to my private work address today. It was in French and from a seemingly genuine email account. It did not look like spam or a scam at first glance, and obviously bypassed university spam filter. Intrigued, I fed it through Google Translate. Perhaps it was from a saucy young French woman longing for a rugged Aussie bloke! Or perhaps it was just some French chick from our Canada campus logging a job for me. Alas, alack.

Walsingham Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Apparently having bad translation is a 'turn on' for people who go for these scams. they think it means the correspondent is a bit unworldly and helps explain their insane use of an intermediary. New take on the scam: what about some bloke who's trapped in a wheelchair thing like Steven Hawking, and can only get to the internet occasionally because their nurse/relatives is conspiring against them for the inheritance?

theslug Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 so..., when do you get to have sex with her? There was a time when I questioned the ability for the schizoid to ever experience genuine happiness, at the very least for a prolonged segment of time. I am no closer to finding the answer, however, it has become apparent that contentment is certainly a realizable goal. I find these results to be adequate, if not pleasing. Unfortunately, connection is another subject entirely. When one has sufficiently examined the mind and their emotional constructs, connection can be easily imitated. More data must be gleaned and further collated before a sufficient judgment can be reached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
