Private Reproof?

Private reproof is the best grave for private faults

Chefs and Cooks Unite!

There’s many a good cock come out of a tattered bag

the Kindness of Strangers

Kindness begets kindness

Wool for sale

Many go out for wool and come home shorn

Prove it!

That which proves too much proves nothing!

Dead

Chiefs vs Indians

Another gem :


You cannot have all the chiefs. You gotta have Indians too

Irish Curses

Today I got a strange curse in my mailbox.

May the curse of Mary Malone and her nine blind illegitimate children chase you so far over the hills of Damnation that the Lord himself cant find you with a telescope.

What can I do against it? :)

The Jelly of Misfortune

Another nice proverb a spammer sent me:

When the tide of misfortune moves over you even jelly will break your teeth

The Tongue proverb

I keep getting proverbs from spammers. Don't know what their fascination is with it, but it makes excellent reading.

Here is today's offer :

The tongue can paint what the eye can't see

Fest der Sinne

A nice little love letter from a German fan :)

Ich suche einen ungebundenen Mann, der an einer lockeren und doch
verbindlichen Beziehung interessiert ist. Ein Widerspruch, denkst du? Ja
und nein. Es ist so, dass ich mich einerseits nach einem Mann sehne,
andererseits aber momentan wenig Zeit habe, um mich wirklich auf eine
konventionelle Beziehung einzulassen aber wer weiss was kommt . Und doch
vermisse ich die Nähe eines Mannes und zärtliche Berührungen.

Eine reine Bettbeziehung wiederum kann ich mir auf Dauer nicht vorstellen.
Vielmehr wünsche ich mir einen Mann kennen zu lernen, mit dem ich gemeinsam
Dinge unternehmen kann (ein köstliches Dinner zu zweit, inspirierende
Gespräche, einen Spaziergang an einem idyllischen Fleckchen, einen
gemütlichen Abend kuschelnd vor dem Fernseher...) und natürlich auch die Er
otik geniessen. Wir sehen uns regelmässig, aber nicht täglich – so kann
jede unserer Begegnungen ein Fest der Sinne werden. Allerdings solltest du
bereit sein, mehr zu geben als nur die Hasennummer – also auch Wärme,
Geborgenheit und Zuneigung.

Compliments of the day!

Sometimes the scam messages are hard to understand. The lingo is weird or the grammar is absent. What about the following message:

Hello,

Compliments of the day I am Barr. Frank Wright of Frank Wright & Associates,I have a client that wants to make a huge investment in your country.My client has directed me to make contact and find a suitable partner for
this great business venture. One of the pre-condition for this business relationship is that his prospective partner must be vast in business

management and must be ready to travel or receive representatives to discuss issues concerning any major investment. This was strictly specified by my client as a pre condition that will be in existence before the establishment of business agreement between my client and the prospective partner. My client is a top government official and would not like any scandal and he is ready to shelve official protocol to protect you and him from such scandal or any act capable of bringing both of you in lime light.

Though this transaction will be done within the premix of the law guiding both countries. Let us know if you are qualified for this great business venture that will be highly beneficial to both parties by providing us with your contact details. We shall cement further understanding once we hear from you.

Regards,
Frank Wright Esq.
