Another real-life conversation between me and one of my colleagues:

Colleague (D.) receives a "health" e-mail (she's in the health sciences herself): "I hate it when people send me this stuff. It would be okay if she sent it to me saying "is this information correct?" but I hate these emails that say "you won't get breast cancer if you eat these antioxidants."

Me: I hate it when I get on someone's mass-mailing list. I tend to get all these sappy glurgy e-mails that are supposed to be "heartwarming" but I just laugh at them because I'm cynical.

D.: Yeah, like "I know he's gonna die at the end and I'm supposed to cry."

Me: I really hate the ones that are religious and that imply you're not a good Christian if you don't forward it onto 40,000 people.

D.: "What would Jesus do?"

Me: Probably hit the Delete key.

D.: Yeah, and He would have had to walk like 30 miles to forward something to another person, there wasn't any internet.

Me: Yeah, He'd have been all like "I'm not going to walk 30 miles each to forward this to fifteen different people. I have, like, demons to cast out and stuff."
