ELEVEN REASONS WHY E-MAIL IS LIKE A MALE REPRODUCTIVE ORGAN

1 Some folks have it and some folks don't.

2 Those who have it would be devastated if it were ever cut off.

3 Those who have it think that those who don't are somehow

inferior.

4 Those who don't have it may agree that it's neat, but think it's

not worth the fuss that those who have it make it out to be.

5 Many of those that don't have it would like to try it ("e-mail

envy").

6 It can be up or down. It's more fun when it's up, but this

makes it difficult to get any real work done.

7 In the long distant past, its only purpose was to transmit

information vital to the survival of the species. Some people

still think that's the only thing it should be used for, but

most folks today use it for fun most of the time.

8 If you don't apply appropriate measures, it can spread viruses.

9 If you use it too much, you'll find it becomes more and more

difficult to think coherently.

10 We attach an importance to it that is far greater than its

actual size and influence warrant.

11 If you're not careful with what you do with it, it can get you

into a lot of trouble.
