Nitrous Oxidation

Spam Observations #17

It has been a while since I have made a New Best Friend but today Louis Broussard wrote to me with an account of some of his recent jolly japes. I reproduce it here for you unedited:

Hi,

Two years ago I tried one for a laugh and was impressed. It cost me $35 a tablet, girl said take one hour before activity and only need to take half but I took the whole thing. Sure enough after one hour it worked I was sitting in a bar playing a game with a girl and wasn't even thinking about it (well maybe only 10% of the brain was). I couldn't get up and walk away as jeans were tight and it was pretty obvious to any one looking that I must be a real sick puppy walking around like that. Ended up getting a mates jacket to hang over it. I took a girl back to the hotel and in the morning she said "you go long time many times", the wonder of it strikes again!

You can try it now too, don't loose you chance!

Now a version which reflects my thought processes as I read it for the first time:

Two years ago I tried one for a laugh and was impressed.

What? What? What are you talking about Louis? Tried what? Where's the subject of your sentence...

It cost me $35 a tablet,

Oh, there we go. A tablet. For what? Laughing? A laughing tablet? What?

girl said take one hour before activity

Before activity? Take an hour before the activity? An hour off or something? What? Oh I see - take the tablet one hour before the activity. But what activity? Attending a comedy festival? Surfing? A prayer meeting?

only need to take half but I took the whole thing

Well that's hardly wise is it, for some kind of medication you've never taken before? Especially a laughing tablet. That could get you into real trouble. Like, you could start laughing at puns or something.

Sure enough after one hour it worked I was sitting in a bar playing a game with a girl

Yes, but how do you know it was the tablet? The girl might have been very funny. Or maybe it was the game. I've played some hysterical games of Flip the Coaster in my time.

and wasn't even thinking about it (well maybe only 10% of the brain was)

10% of the brain was thinking about what? The game? The girl? The tablet? Laughing? Maybe thinking about what the other 90% of an obviously fairly under-resourced brain was doing?

I couldn't get up and walk away as jeans were tight and it was pretty obvious to any one looking that I must be a real sick puppy walking around like that.

With jeans that were too tight to walk around in? Yep, I gotta say Louis, I've seen some pretty ugly sights in the tight jeans department. You should have thought of that on your way in. Most people in this joint would have already had you pegged as a sick puppy. I'm surprised you could find a girl to play games with. She must have had a good sense of humour. You really have to watch yourself with tight jeans. Aside from looking like a real dickhead, what if you got an erection or something? You could do some serious damage. Thank god for the laughing tablet, eh? I guess that, and the excruciating crushing of your testicles would have taken your mind off other things, if you get my meaning.

Ended up getting a mates jacket to hang over it.

OK, now you lost me. Mates... jacket... to... hang... over... it... Let me just read back there... OH! It's one of those kinds of tablets. Not a laughing tablet at all! Mind you, I can imagine that the sight of you in your tight jeans with a friend's jacket waggling in the air before your groin was bringing laughter to many people that night, without the need of any further medication on their part. I wish I'd been there.

I took a girl back to the hotel and in the morning she said "you go long time many times"

Yeah, well I'm not surprised. You sound like you had quite a bit to drink my man.

the wonder of it strikes again!

Louis, believe me when I tell you that the wonder of it strikes me every time I read your email.

Ah, me. Again we see that like so many other spammers Louis suffers from the apparently epidemic affliction of Spammer Identity Confusion. I am beginning to formulate an hypothesis that it could just be that this is a side-effect of taking all these pills, for laughter or otherwise.

Whatever. I'm not going to loose any sleep over it.
