3. But...but...one of my daughters needs a big toe transplant.

Can't you donate just a little for a good cause?

[trumad]

8. No Prob...she can have 3 toes.

[randome]

10. What? You have a few spares lying around?

Not sure I want you to answer that.

[trumad]

12. Nope---I'm buying them for you from the toe store.

[RebelOne]

4. Undisclosed recipients means that this e-mail

went out to lots more people who also inherited this windfall.

5. Damn, complete strangers NEVER leave me a fortune in their will

I could use a few extra bucks. My cats absolutely refuse to hunt for their own food, so guess who has to buy it, for them. Lazy cats.

7. All you have to do is send a small processing fee to a Nigerian bank account to collect!

[lame54]

9. So, I guess you are voting for Romney

[trumad]

13. Damn---you're right---I'm in the one percent.

Skinner---PPR me!

11. Only half ?

I keed, I keed

[slackmaster]

14. People who earn that much should pay a 99% marginal tax rate

You shouldn't be allowed to get more than $200K.

[Bozita]

15. Now you can buy a few dressage horses!

Strictly for tax purposes, ya know.

[taterguy]

16. Is the other half to buy drinks for the Sports Forum?

[Ikonoklast]

17. Ah, c'mon now!

There isn't enough money in all of Mitt's offshore bank accounts to cover the bar tab for that lot, let alone a few million.

[taterguy]

20. At least 70 drinks per post

And I know of at least two Sports Forumites that don't drink at all.

[rateyes]

18. Hold on, bub. Mr. Friedrich was my long lost biological father. I am going to sue

his estate for my fair share. You won't get a thin dime by the time my attorneys are through with you.

[Nye Bevan]

19. At least the email address is not hotmail or yahoo.

I give them a couple of points for that.

[Liberal_in_LA]

21. this thread made me laugh out loud!

[magical thyme]

22. hey, trumad, oh pal, oh buddy

can you spare a couple hundred thou? I need to fix up my antique pretty desperately, and my car broke 215,000 miles not too long ago. Also, my shelter dog has dysplasia and is going to be needing a new pair of hips one of these days...

[patricia92243]

23. lol- don't spend it all in one place. :) n/t

[MADem]

24. Jeez, if that works out for ya, you'd never have to worry about a pizza party! nt
