[Shotimes] Re used sho scan

[David P]

Have you become senile, or is it me? I swear this site was posted here
barely two weeks back.

I can't believe people are still falling for these. Haven't we all received
at least half a dozen emails from somewhere in Africa about so and so
needing to transfer money to the US, and they need our help, and if we pay
"x" fee to help them get the money transferred to us, it's in our name, and
we get "x" percent of the total millions of dollars...

I say we selectively bomb south African countries just for their trouble.
Who the hell invited them to the internet anyway? What the hell have they
brought to the table? Better CPU mfg processes? New wireless technology?
Less squishy mousepads? Can we block entire countries for exceeding their
quota of scams per period? Rich, impoverished, downtrodden Nigerians are
sucking up all my bandwidth. I want a recount. I think there are too many
nodes. I will sell them my SHO when the only piece left is unrecognizable.
They will buy it because they will feel my plight, and will want to help me
leave my country for a better life in Hawaii, where the only things that
assault you are fresh ocean breezes and tiki bowls filled with fermented
goodness.
