\nDear Poor Lucky Me,<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\nAbout once a month I will get an email “joke\u201d from an old friend that I haven\u2019t spoken with, seen, or even emailed in years. This email will contain nothing other than a forwarded joke and will include me and a handful of other people. The joke is never funny, not geared towards me and gives no clue as to what the sender would like in return.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\nIs this person trying to reconnect with me? If so, why not personalize the email?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\nIs the person super bored, so bored in fact that they went through their address book and found their most dormant contacts?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\nWhat gives?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\nThanks,
\nDeleting Without Reading<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\nDear D.W.R.,
\nThe Internet provides so many fascinating insights into weirdos. Just think: before the Internet we had little idea who was a pervert, a racist, or a religious freak.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\nI think that the person sending you email jokes is just trying to tell you they’re thinking of you. Or, they are a diabolical Lex Luther type and know how much their emails get under your skin. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A personalized email takes way more work then pressing forward, and brings you no good luck or riches like chain emails do. I can’t tell you how rich and powerful I have gotten from forwarding emails. The Bentley I drive, in fact, showed up in my parking space after I forwarded an Angel email. It was totally worth it.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\nNext time some one sends you a chain or joke email, why don’t you rely: “Thank you so much for the hilarious joke. I have forwarded it to 30 people. I expect untold riches for doing so and will hold you personally responsible if they don’t appear.” or you could just say “Thanks for the email! Thinking of you too.”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\nSincerely,
\nPoor Lucky Me<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
