This will serve as both a lesson AND to amuse
I received this from my friend Ethel yesterday, and it made me laugh. In light of this morning's entry about spam and (to a lesser extend) email courtesy, I give you:

Funny huh? I thought so. Now just imagine how funny it would be if it had been sent to me like this:
Subject: fitness for seniors
I came across this exercise suggested for seniors, to build muscle strength
in the arms and shoulders. It seems so easy, so I thought I'd pass it on.
The article suggested doing it three days a week. Begin by standing on a comfortable surface, where you have plenty of room at each side. With a 5-lb. potato sack in each hand, extend your arms straight out from your sides, and hold them there as long as you can. Try to
reach a full minute, then relax. Each day, you'll find that you can hold this position for just a bit longer.
After a couple of weeks, move up to 10-lb. potato sacks. Then 50-lb. potato sacks, and then eventually try to get to where you can lift a 100-lb. potato sack in each hand and hold your arms straight for more than a full minute.
Once you feel confident at that level, put a potato in each of the sacks.

and as for you ninecats, I wouldn't rush to say she's better than me. Just different. (Now my feelings are all hurt).
