IMing With A Gentleman From Nigeria

I do some instant messaging, though not a ton -- and I rarely get IM spam. But that happened to me recently, and I found it kind of funny. Maybe you will too...

them: hi danny
me: hi?
them: yup
them: how are u
them: ?
me: who are you?
them: l'm a gentleman from Nigeria
me: hi gentleman from nigeria. what do you want.
them: wanna be ur friend
me: got enough friends. bye
them: why?
*** them has been ignored.

Aw Danny, you cut him off just before he could offer you 20% of the £50 million that he has to smuggle out of the country. ;)

LOL, I got a laugh out of that.

That's like the Facebook spam I got a few weeks ago.

Needless to say, Facebook deleted his account a few days later.
