No.
No, I do not want to “3nlaarge my Peni5″. Thank you for caring enough to email me about it no less than three hundred and fifty-six thousand four hundred and twenty-one times, but I’ve had quite a number of opportunities to mull it over and I think that I’m going to stay with the current downstairs configuration. Thanks, though. And by all means, you can stop sending the offer to my wife. She’s not interested at all.
I’m gonna have to go with the same response when it comes to the discount software, too. I know the brand new “Windows V1sta” for $1.99 (plus shipping) seems too good a deal to pass up, but I gotta tell you that I’m a little worried that the “plus shipping” is going to add up to oh, I dunno, $461.83, or possibly my firstborn child’s kidney or something. Perhaps if you actually knew how to spell the product that you were trying to sell me I might be instilled with a little more confidence, but as it stands now I am going to have to stick with my tried-and-true XP. And, were I still using Windows 3.1, I would have to stick with that as well.
You also seem to be mistakenly under the impression that I might begin pursuing a Master’s degree soon. Not to mention the mistaken impression that were I to pursue a Master’s degree that I would want to pursue it from a University I have never heard of located in some foreign country I have never been to. Along this same thread of mistaken impressions about a Master’s degree lies your mistaken impression that your own personal testimony of the Master’s degree you received from said University in said unvisited foreign country will positively persuade me. If the Master’s degree worked out as well for you as you claim it did, perhaps you wouldn’t have to spend twenty-two and a half hours per day emailing me about this Master’s degree that you claim you have and mistakenly believe that I am in the market for. If you get the impression from this paragraph that you are mistaken about a lot of things regarding my desire for a Master’s degree, then you are not at all mistaken.
Finally, I would just love to help you out with that wire transfer. Really, I would. I have this personal policy, though, about paying out ridiculous sums of money to receive an even more ridiculous sum of money. I don’t play the lottery, I don’t gamble on the NBA, and I don’t send money to complete strangers in Nigeria. Call me crazy, and perhaps I am missing my gravy train, but that’s my strictest of policies. Not to say that I don’t trust you, but my guess is that if someone were actually a member of a royal African family, they could probably land an email account from some place other than “Yahoo!”. Oh, and they would probably learn how to spell, too.
Sorry to disappoint you! It looks like all the time spent emailing me today will prove fruitless. What a shame that truly is. Now I will say this…if someone could land me a large wire transfer AND a Master’s degree, all as a plug in to Windows Vista that at the same time enlarges my…..well, you get the idea. I might be interested then.
PS: Humor-blogs.com just asked about the enlargement process…I’ll forward them your email.

Crummy(and-yet-so-so-so-NOT-Crummy)Joel! this post is just plain brilliant on so many dang levels i don’t know where to begin! i started laughing at “3nlaarge my Peni5″ and didn’t stop until i got to the…3nd. the fact that we’ve recieved over 10,000 pi3ces of this crap since starting this blog just made your post all the more funny to me! in fact, young Di3sel first found his way to this site as the r3sult of a spam-related post we did last Octob3r, tho’ i’m quite certain that offering couldn’t hold a spamdle to this one!
have i mentioned lat3ly how much i ador3 your “crummy” posts? i suppose w3 should warn your fans that, once school starts, you may not b3 able to “show up” ev3ry week, but for everyone’s sake, i hope you’re h3re more often than not!!
again i say: WELL DONE!!! *claps*
Comment by One Hot Puppy Tuesday, 28 August 2007 @ 8:13amDiesel has very graciously claimed that my website has the largest laugh-to-word-count ratio out there.
I only hope and pray that this post has the largest laugh-to-minutes-spent-writing-it ratio out there. I had to crank this one out in a hurry.
Comment by CrummyJoel Tuesday, 28 August 2007 @ 8:44amDiesel knows what he’s talkin’ about. oh, and thanks ever so much for letting me know you can “crank” out a post this funny in a “hurry”. some of us have to labor long and hard to get even ONE good laugh out of our readers, my friend. (sometimes i get such a headache) d’oh!
Comment by snuppy Tuesday, 28 August 2007 @ 8:50amLoved this post so much. I ,too, have gotten several offers to enlarge my penis…I am still waiting for the mail to offer me a reconstruction of my pelvic area first, though.
Crummy is atrting school…I am startign school tomorrow…I will try to whip out a weekly post anyway…challenge extended!
Granted, my future posts might circle aorund teh endocrin system and Kohlberg’s steps of child development, but -by golly- there will be black letters on the white background!
Comment by Penguin Tuesday, 28 August 2007 @ 9:21amI wish someone would offer a way to reduce my unit. I’m just saying.

Comment by CrummyJoel Tuesday, 28 August 2007 @ 10:36amlol! That was very funny! Being in the IT field, I don’t enjoy it when some very grandmotherly secretary calls me up all frustrated, wanting to know why she’s getting penis enlargement emails because she expects an answer from me.
Comment by Pavel Tuesday, 28 August 2007 @ 10:44amYesterday I got an email that read:
Good morning diesel
Insane big dick in ur pants! TODAY!
I was like, “Man, this is creepy. How do they KNOW?!”
Comment by Diesel Tuesday, 28 August 2007 @ 12:19pmV3ry funny not-so-crummy-Jo3l! I too have been b3sieged by those very same 3nlargement mails, and hav3 also r3ciev3d t3mpting Vi@gra offers. Now, what I am exp3cted to do is b3yond me, since I have nothing to 3nlarge or to 3ncourage by way of Vi@gra.
Comment by Theresa Tuesday, 28 August 2007 @ 12:38pmOoh, I had no idea if I put Viagra that way it would show up as an e-mail address (Actually, it’s Diesel’s secret address, shh, don’t tell anyone)
Comment by Theresa Tuesday, 28 August 2007 @ 12:41pmYeah, it’s so secret neither he nor his wife know about it
Comment by CrummyJoel Tuesday, 28 August 2007 @ 12:45pmGreat, now I’m going to get even more spam. Thanks for giving away my secret address. At least ci@lis is still a secret.
Comment by Diesel Tuesday, 28 August 2007 @ 3:29pmSome people just can’t be tempted.
Comment by Nessa Tuesday, 28 August 2007 @ 4:56pmJoel, can you forward one of those emails to me, please? It’s, um, for a friend.
Comment by the frogster Tuesday, 28 August 2007 @ 5:12pmyeah yeah, where were you guys last Friday, when we were talkin’ about a use for some of this sh!t? Diesel? so your “secret” is Ci@lis or Vi@gra, is it? funny, i had you pegged as an 3nzyte man. not that i give such things more than a pa55ing thought, mind you, but with that happy disposition of yours, i just figured something “special” was going on. (oh golly, i HOPE that won’t dissuade anyone from voting for MY HILARIOUS CAPTION in this week’s contest. i mean, CrummyJoel’s is good, too, but “Stormpoopers“? come on…that’s just comedy gold!)
Comment by snuppy Tuesday, 28 August 2007 @ 6:15pmWhat One Hot Puppy said. Also Snuppy the first time. (Wow. That’s way easier than having to come up with my own witty comment about your extreme funny-ness.)
Comment by Madmad Tuesday, 28 August 2007 @ 8:03pmI can think of far quicker and cheaper methods by which one can enlarge their organ.
Comment by Lord Likely Tuesday, 28 August 2007 @ 9:22pmThanks everyone. Glad you enjoyed this one!
Comment by CrummyJoel Wednesday, 29 August 2007 @ 8:26ami’m cracking up here, because this morning what appeared to be a “legitimate” comment turned out to be… spam! i came thisclose to leaving it in, anyway, but decided delete it, in order not to encourage the spammer (or allow similar “comments” to get in). how weird is that?? actually, not very, i suppose — especially considering the fact we ALL know how prolific and/or tenacious some of these folks can be! still, that was funny! (to my own pathetic way of thinking…)
Comment by snuppy Wednesday, 29 August 2007 @ 8:29amThe worse things about these enlargement letters is that they sometimes even go to the trouble of using my first name: “Debra, are you tired of the size of your …”. I know that some names can go either way, but Debra? Also, I’ve gotten a lot of mail about getting rid of nail fungus. Anybody ever had that?
