I have to send bizarre e-mails fairly regularly.

We had a case at my law firm that was about the shrink wrap packaging used for some meats. As an exhibit for the case, someone had a huge slab of meat taking up most of a refrigerator in one of our pantries. It was in there for about a month or so after a hearing, and started off nice and red, but became rather brown after being forgotten for a while. When people started lodging complaints, I had to track down who the slab of meat belonged to. I wish I kept that e-mail. It's hard to make an e-mail that you can claim is a serious e-mail but that is really designed to make people chuckle and go "WFT".

Mostly because most people don't use the phrase "What f*** the".

With the proliferation of web-sites that require password access, as well as PC and network applications that demand secure access via username/password combos, remembering all those combinations is getting to be quite a problem for a lot of people.
