[Mercat]

I average three of those emails a week. I just hit “spam” and they’re gone. I had to do that with the Viagra ads for several months but now they just don’t show up any more. Maybe they’ve figured out that I’m female.

Speaking of smart females, Mercat, I started telling my wife about this article, and when I got to the part about "a cashier's check", she started shaking her head. She said: "Never fall for anything like that." I never got to the punch line. She said: "Even a cashier's check. Never."

She's not a lawyer. Or an economist. Or a banker. She's just smart.
