Especially since they addressed me as "E-mail Beneficiary" The United Nations does that a lot.

The guy in front of me at Chick Fil A left his receipt with a survey for a free sandwich on the counter. Cha-ching!

Just as a reminder, Adopt A Retired Sailor is also completely legit and a great way to claim a financial loss on your taxes.

For only $1,000.00 a month, I'll provide occasional e-mail updates on how I'm spending the money.



No Paypal, f### that s###. Just send cash.

Pfft. I was recently notified that there are two very large metal trunks full of money just waiting for me at Hartsfield Airport in Atlanta, Georgia. You see, a diplomat from the U.K. who was transporting these trunks full of money was unable to pay for his yellow ticket. So, naturally, they emailed me.

I am currently arranging transportation to Atlanta. I'm sure the gentleman who sent the email will be willing to take payment for the yellow ticket from my two newly acquired trunks full of money. Simples.
