You must think I'm really stupid

This is a real e-mail I recieved about 2 minutes ago. It would sure be nice if you could win a lottery without entering, but I am a wee bit skeptical that it works that way. Now I could surely use $1,000,000, I won't lie to you. But I think I'll do it the old fashioned way. By winning Fear Factor more than twice. (Fear is not a factor for me. Unless it involves eating nasty stuff.**)

** In THE CORRUPTOR, Chow Yun Fat and Mark Whalberg were patrolling Chinatown. When offered some kind of food from a street vendor, Mark declined it. Chow Yun Fat had this great line, "Hey, if you want to be Chinese you gonna have to eat some nasty stuff." Having travelled in both HK and PRC allI can say is, Amen to that.

Well, duh, you're not going to get any money now, Ed. You were supposed to keep it confidential!
