OT : Bizarre mail logs

I was just doing a quick check through the logs of my outgoing mail-server
when I found this little conversation.

It was with the mail server of web-based electrical-goods retailer ...

Not at all. I think it was funny and I've not played tennis for years, and
never seriously.

You have to have something wrong with you to be reading your mail logs in
the first place, probably and it was just the sheer joy of finding something
funny in them.

Mind you, I'm still chuckling at Alan Davies' bee joke from QI last night,
so maybe that ecstasy that I took a fortnight ago has finally kicked in.

Somewhere out there, there is a very very bored Unix admin.

 

He used to be cute until he had his hair cut.

That's one of the few things I'd bother turning the TV on for but I
was doing something else apparently.

Was the joke any good?

He told you it was ecstacy? You've been had. Still another valuable
post puberty lesson, how to buy mind altering substances without being
ripped off.

See isn't it wonderful out here in the real world.

<wipes thick layer of dust from other computer and fires it up to see

I suspect that most of it was in the telling, but ...

Two bee-keepers talking. The first one says, "How many bees you got then?"
"100,000" replies the second.
"Right, and how many hives?"
"20"
The conversation pauses for a heartbeat or two.
"How many bees have you got then?" the 2nd keeper asks the first.
"A million" comes the reply.
"A million bees? How many hives then?"
"One"
"You've got a million bees and only one hive?" asks the astonished 2nd
bee-keeper.
"Yeah, **** them, they're only bees".

As I got it for nothing the chances of being ripped off were pretty slim.
Even a tic-tac would have yielded a net profit (and probably done as much
for me as well).

Out where?

I guess so, yes.
