Email Never Dies

More randomness.  I have just received an email, forwarded from a friend, that I had sent to him ten years ago.  As in ten years, at least one address, name change, and a few jobs ago.  A whole kid has happened since then.

Shouldn’t email come with an expiration date?  Should they not implode in your inbox after 120 days?

I’m not really sure of the context, but think it has something to do with some friends who nearly got me arrested.

Here is my twenty-something response to the question “Trust me I wouldn’t do anything you wouldn’t do.  What wouldn’t you do?”

What I wouldn’t do:

1. Anything that would cause death by dismemberment, life and dismemberment, or slow agonizing disease.

2. Commit a felony.

3. Anything that could get you on the 11 o’clock news with the disclaimer that the scenes are graphic.

4. If you wouldn’t show it to your grandmother don’t photograph it.

5. Confessing it to the local priest would cause duress.

6. The guilt would kill you.

7. Even if you were 85 you would still be hiding it from your children.

8. If it doesn’t fall into any of the above categories but would otherwise offend, disgust, or severely disturb me or anyone else you know, don’t tell anyone about it and force your friends/witnesses into a vow of silence under penalty of equal humiliation by letting their skeletons out of the closet.

Hmmm.  I see a future in blogging in the above silly quips.  I bet this man has even more infamous quotes by me.  It is a good thing we’re still friends.
