Everyday we get emails from our friends. If you are like me, some you open, but mostly you just hit delete. After all, we have seen the hamster going in circles, the pyramid of cheerleaders falling and the latest crude joke. Many, many times.
Here are 10 cut and paste emails you can use to make them stop.
Hey, Friend, I found these at www.whatwoulddadsay.com. I thought you might like to pass them along to people:
1. Hey, dude—please stop with the lame-ass emails. They are not funny and you are overloading my email account.
2. Mom, I don’t need any more recipes.
3. Dad, stop sending me all these advice columns. I don’t think even YOU read them.
4. Hey, that WAS funny…but back in 1998. Did you just learn how to forward?
5. I don’t believe anything that sounds either too good to be true or that involves every rancher in Montana. So, quit with the weird teachings, conspiracies or near-cult rantings.
6. I really don’t care what Britney, Paris or K-Fed is up to these days. Same with Ryan Seacrest. I am not participating in celebrity gossip any more.
7. It’s not that I don’t like looking at pretty girls. But, puh-lease, let’s show some decency.
8. Just because it struck you as either funny or inspiring or tragic or helpful, at the moment you sent it, does not mean I will and do. It’s like I am watching the Super Bowl and it’s the last minute of the game and my wife thrusts a page out of Oprah, the magazine, for me to read right this instant (emphasis mine). I am not watching the game now, but you get the drift, right?
9. Yeah, saw it. Like a zill-billion times.
10. Snopes says this is so not true. Don’t pass around myths, lies and creepy, dumb truths. You are smarter than that.
Add Your Own—please.

GL you hit a nerve here—I agree about the e-mails—-but it seems the larger issue is confrontation.
You know the guys we all admire —the ones who always speak up about important issues. Their rebukes sting most of the time—but after we take a hard look at what we are doing wrong it makes us a better person.
Seems I have some confronting to do–
Thank you –o’ nephew of my dad
Nah, I don’t have the nerve to send these emails to people, either. I talk big. At least my friends are thinking about me. The ones that are forwarded to a big long list of people, however, make me think otherwise.
Have a great weekend, cuz.
