I got a Nigerian scam spam from William Morris.

Okay, it was signed by "Jerry Owuso," but "William Morris" was in the sender's-name field. And it wasn't the usual exiled-leader-needs-help-recovering-his-fortune type of spam; it wanted to know if I had properties available for sale in my country.

I still can't help but ponder what a Nigerian scam spam would sound like if it came from the William Morris Agency. Or if it were written by the author of The Well at the World's End.

That's hilarious! I love it. *g*

And really, how many people can say that? (Well, probably several million. Oh, well....)
