9/13/05a

2:48 p.m. So, I signed up for this online dating service a long, long time ago. And today I got the following email:


I would like to meet with YOU.I am Manasseh,30,single,Nigerian,Transporter,loves life .Ienjoy reading your profile and it kind of interest me.I WANT A WOMAN i CAN LOVE WITH MY WHOLE HEART.I also want to feel like an African king in the bossom of my sweetheart.But I must first get to know her and appreciate her person.

Cool. I wouldn't mind making him feel like an African king, but my questions is, what IS a "Transporter"? Does he drive a bus? Is he a drug trafficker? Does he carry stuff? Because, in that case, aren't we ALL "Transporters"?

And isn't he getting just a little fresh asking me if he can appreciate my person on the first email? I mean, really...

Wow Polly you are getting lots of spam lately.
Maybe he is the transporter. HE doesn't really look like an African King though.

Oh dear...

Olga will love you for that, Mad. She thinks that guy from the Transporter movies has the sexiest voice ever.

Doncha, Olga??

He's just after your bossom.

But can he get you a big percentage of his Nigerian bank account is the question.

Are you sure it wasn't Cap'n Bob in disguise?

Talk about a long-distance romance.

Does he drive a bus?

Didn't you notice the Nigerian convention going on at the Sheraton during Bouchercon? Every one of theose people were enjoying the fruits of their Internet scams.

And think about it, Polly. Do you really want to be a queen in a third world country ravaged by poverty, AIDS, tribalism, and elephantiasis? Okay, that's better than hooking up with Stilwell, but there have to be better options out there.
