Why Email Is Like A Penis

Some folks have it, some don't. Those who have it
would be devastated if
it were ever cut off. They think that those who
don't have it are
somehow inferior. They think it gives them power.
They are wrong. Those
who don't have it may agree that it's an nifty
toy, but think it's not
worth the fuss that those who do have it make
about it. Still, many of
those who don't have it would like to try it. It
can be up or down. It's
more fun when it's up, but it makes it hard to get
any real work done.
In the long distant past, its only purpose was to
transmit information
considered vital to the survival of the species.
Some people still think
that's the only thing it should be used for, but
most folks today use it
for fun most of the time. Once you've started
playing with it, it's hard
to stop. Some people would just play with it all
day if they didn't have
work to do. It provides a way to interact with
other people. Some people
take this interaction very seriously, others treat
it as a lark.
Sometimes it's hard to tell what kind of person
you're dealing with
until it's too late. If you don't apply the
appropriate protective
measures, it can spread viruses. It has no brain
of its own. Instead, it
uses yours. If you use it too much, you'll find it
becomes more and more
difficult to think coherently. We attach an
importance to it that is far
greater than its actual size and influence
warrant. If you're not
careful what you do with it, it can get you in big
trouble. It has its
own agenda. Somehow, no matter how good your
intentions, it will warp
you behavior. Later you may ask yourself "Why on
earth did I do that?"
It has no conscience and no memory. Left to its
own devices, it will do
the same damn dumb things again and again. |
