Eleven Reasons Why Having E-Mail is Like Having a Penis

Cyril Pavillard — Sat, 26 Apr 2008 22:05:09 +0000

#11. Those who have it would be devastated if it was ever cut off.
#10. Those who have it think that those who don�??t are somehow inferior.
#9. 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 about it.
#8. Many of those who don�??t have it would like to try it, a phenomenon psychologists call E-mail Envy.
#7. It�??s more fun when it�??s up, but this makes it hard to get any real work done.
#6. In the 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 mostly for fun.
#5. If you don�??t take proper precautions, it can spread viruses.
#4. If you use it too much you�??ll find it becomes more and more difficult to think coherently.
#3. We attach an importance to it that is far greater than its actual size and influence warrant.
#2. If you�??re not careful what you do with it, it can get you into a lot of trouble.
AND THE NUMBER ONE REASON WHY E-MAIL IS LIKE HAVING A PENIS:
#1. If you play with it too much, you can go blind.
