... don't go in for the Bulgarian approach to life ! Stay straight , lad , stay straight ! 
 
There is an explanation , really , but for the moment it is a private joke between me and another poster. 
 
Not good etiquette I know -- and unlike some , my first indulgence in such. 
 
I may withdraw it later

Well you got a seemingly good investment opportunity there - although I wonder at the absence of the seemingly ubiquitous rich Nigerian... 
 
A quibble - where are does the competitively priced viagra come in? And the nude pictures of Anna Kournikova whilst we're at it...

Many years ago i discovered what is called a found poem which is a bit like the objet trouve in visual art .  
 
On this occasion I was checking to see that some of my correspondents had not been accidentally added to the spam that we all receive , and there were all these headings to emails , mostly the kind of email that offered carnal delights , medications to reiieve the problems of old age , and of course those that would provide the necessary penile adjustments that would follow their use . 
 
All of which I might perhaps attain if I followed the stock market advice that that would bring me millions ! 
 
Taking only the headings I strung them together with very few adjustments to their order of arrival and none to their content , to develop the found poem above . 
 
A classic example of the genre is from The Hound of the Baskervilles which reads , as best I can recall I knelt and put my pistol to the awful shimmering head . No need to pull the trigger , for the dreadful hound was dead 
 
I am too fond fof the quirky I fear
