"Man this is the hound's-hung-ones! A piece of piss! The septics** will love it. Nice one Ned. I'll see you outside Berel's Brothel tonight. Bring your wallet." Turning away from his machine, GK recalled the advice his besty friend had left him in the hilarious few minutes from which we the readers were excluded. It concerned sending emails and attachments. Collecting all his information, he attached it to an email and sent it to Ed Colonwolski.

Later that day....

"GK. Look I don't know how to tell you this but some mar-far*** crashed our parent company's main revenue source - the goddamn mar-farging search engine is dead. And what's worse, the mail server was bombed as well. It's cyber warfare, know what I mean? So, the project's on hold. I hope you'll accept the $25,000 I'm sending you for time wasted and as a retainer. You're an N1G****, you're my kind of babe, babe."

"No problems..." and he headed off to see Berel.

Moral of today...
Data is data. Information is data that someone will pay for. And you can put anything you like on the net because some twit will believe it.
