From an email I got:
One time, there was a very poor man named bob. bob had a friend names fred who worked at microsoft. fred knew about bob's financial problems, and since bob was very smart, he tried to get bob a job at the company.
bob did very well at his interviw. he answered all his questions correctly, and impressed the boss. then, he was asked: 'okay, we can start you at $15 an hour, now, I need your email address'. bob told the man that he was ver poor and didn't own a computer, have an email address or have any knowledge on the subject. bob was rejected.
On his way home, bob noticed a guy selling 10 tomatoes for $5. he just happened to have $5, and bought the tomatoes.
He was waiting for a car to pass at the crosswalk when the man in the car said, 'hey, how much do you want for those tomatoes, I have $10.' bob sold the tomatoes and made his profit.
The next day, bob bought 25 tomatoes for $12.50, and eventually sold them for $50. he repeated this precess every day.
by the end of the year, bob had earned quite a bit of money in the tomato sales, he soon bought a truck to be able to transport tomatoes.
by the end of the next year, he had a large area where he and his family grew tomatoes and other plants, and 3 more trucks. he was making about $100,000 a year.
5 years later, microsoft was firing off a whole load of people, of of them was fred. fred was forced to sell his home, and became homeless; bob offered him a small shack, because bob was now making over $5,000,000 in sales.
which means that by having an email address, you are more likely to become homeless than a millionare
