The optimist

Introduction

I had to write, several times, to a webmaster to complain about the malfunctioning of his site. I was nice to him, poor sod, treated him like a human being (which had never happened to him, in all his life as a webmaster), because I know that nothing is perfect, even in the best of all possible worlds, and I was helpful by sending him complete error messages, as inscrutable as they come, rather than just shouting at him. So he was grateful to me and wrote as follows.

And I replied:

Hi Dan,

"And the best of British luck to you!" :-)

That's what we say when someone undertakes a difficult task, like eradicating terrorism.

Fixing it for good!!! Like, even God didn't manage that when She created the world. She had to send Her chief engineer (called Jesus, of all things) a few million years later (exactly 2009 years ago), to repair it all. And that was not "for good", because there will be a "second coming", and then it will be fixed for good, in the only way possible, by total annihilation. (The opposite of Noah's flood. Trial and error: water didn't work, so next time round it will be fire and brimstone.)

That's how you cure people too, for good: you kill them off and they will never have a headache, never be ill, will never complain any more, will never be unfaithful any more.

I work in web development and network marketing. I have this friend who comes here to fix my computer problems ("for good", of course). He comes almost every day. But we have agreed by now on the purpose of his visits: He doesn't fix problems, he replaces them by different ones. That's why on our payroll he is called "The Problem Replacer".

He fixes one problem and, by doing so, inevitably leaves another one behind.

It's like getting a new girlfriend (or, even better, a new wife) every two weeks. Wonderful! Never a dull moment.

Whatever happens
(at "3am EST", the only time, perversely, I ever visit your site :-( ),
be of good cheer.

Keep in touch. I do love your courage and optimism.

PPS. You are definitely much more likely to win the Jackpot in the UK National Lottery (Lotto), or in Euro-Millions, or in the Spanish Superdraw, or even in the huge El Gordo at Christmas this year, with the bigged prize fund in the world and a huge variety of medium-sized prizes in addition to the Jackpot.

You can increase your chances of winning the Jackpot in the UK Lotto by 7 times, and in Euro-Millions by 36 times, if you join our syndicate, at http://tinyurl.com/oq58yf




Or if you want have a chance to win a £1,000 prize without buying a ticket, just by registering (no cost! absolutely free!), then go to Grab a Grand ( http://tinyurl.com/prtd5c ).


If you introduce your friends as players or affiliates, you could even earn commission. So what are you waiting for?

This is better than the never ending chore of fixing computer problems "for good". Better win the Jackpot, and then you will have the chore of "spending your money for good".
