How stupid do they think we are? How stupid are they?
Hippies do like to listen to Phish Rand! (Google Phish)
They think “we” are stupid enough for them to get one hit out of a million. And they’re probably right.

The Nigerian King that sent me the touching email about his plight.
I like the one about the Nigerian Astronaut stuck on Mir since the fall of the Soviet Union at the end of 1991. I wonder what the Russians told him when they went down without him and an empty seat?
I suggest they check with the fishes in the bottom of the Pacific.
