So a former neighbor of mine sees fit to keep me on her list of folks she forwards oddball emails to. She's not exactly flooding my inbox, but I get a fair amount over the weeks. She sends the routine stuff: Why men suck; the joke about two NY taxi drivers trying to get into heaven; the news report of the ironic fire at the goat farm; and of course, the photo of the kitten asleep on the keyboard.
There's a whole list of folks in the "To:" field. She either doesn't know about the "BCC" field or doesn't care to use it for discretionary purposes. My bet, knowing my former neighbor, is the latter.
Ever so rarely, I will respond to her emails, and rarer still, to the entire list. I responded to the picture of the kitty to the entire recipient list (Reply All!) with the old favorite, "nice pussy." From this I learned several things.
Even a casual reference to my neighbor's nether regions - even as a play on words - is enough to evoke a mental image of said regions. That is not a nice mental image. Believe me.
It is really fun to Reply All with a crude joke to a bunch of strangers and watch the outraged emails pour in. I hate people with no sense of humor.
Homeland Security is CC'd every time something is Reply All'd. I know this because they told me. They told me by burning a nasty message to knock it off or else on my slice of sourdough toast this morning.
