I'm totally innocent!!!
Jul. 12th, 2002 07:59 amI hit reply this morning on an email that my brother sent to me. His email to me was about an article about a couple who had to keep the bathroom door closed because their cats had figured out how to flush the toilet.
He was at Mom's over the 4th and discovered that her Encarta is just not happy with her new operating system and it's old anyway (the Encarta) so I had a new one sent to her. He and I had discussed how to get it installed and figured that if she could get the CD into the drive, I could work the rest from here.
Oh and he also, while he was there, got a can of air and got behind Mom's CPU and got the surface dust off.
Soooo my note to him today was to report that Mom mentioned in passing that she installed Encarta yesterday. All by herself and with no problems. I was very impressed. But, warily added "I hope you hid that can of air you bought. No way do we want her doing her own blow jobs!"
And I hit Send.
About 15 minutes later I get a note from Prudential (where he works) that says:
Your message will not be delivered to a Prudential associate because it contains explicit language.
If you believe this message was denied delivery in error please forward the message in question to abuse@prudential.com.
I wanted to write to them and say 'but I was only making fun my Mom is 79 and single and not dating... the blow job I meant was really different than the blow job you mean' but, somehow, I thought that might net me more trouble.
My poor brother. I had to get rather clever in explaining what my original note said to him without saying the words... I forwarded the original to his home email.
I'm sure Prudential is a fine company and I totally understand the need for rules and the email system belongs to them as well as the computers he used to send and read my email, but even knowing all of that, it's still kind of creepy that some guy cares about my Mom's blow job or lack thereof. (I know it's automated but the bounced dirty mail has to go somewhere and I get this picture of a little nerdy guy reading it all.....)
