The Email I Hate Most - Mailbox
I get this email about once a week from various folks who come across our favorite cartoon website:
Looking for the cartoon that has General Custer on the front line, battling Indians with handguns and rifles. Standing in the wings is a salesman with a Gatling gun (early machine gun). The caption reads: I havent got time to see a salesman. What we're using works just fine.
Can you tell me where to find it?
Ugh... Seriously, once a week.
I just got it again from a nice fellow, but every time I see "I haven't got time to see a salesman," I want to scream!
Anyone know who did the original on this, his/her address, and sleeping habits?

I've gotten that same email a couple of times. I found the cartoon somewhere like Cartoonstock. So I tell the guy and the guy emails me back and says something like that's not the one he meant. Huh? ... It's got Custer and a salesman.
Go figure, no good deed goes unpunished, etc.

I've done the same thing, but I get tired of sending people over there. Now I just either ignore it, or say no thank you.

Tell them you haven't got time to look for that cartoon, but you're sure it works just fine for the hundreds of other people that are using it.

Seriously! This thing has been used so long that it'd be a total waste to use it anymore!
Ugh! I used to be in sales, and for the most part, not the most creative lot.
"Hmm... that worked for someone else once? Well, it's the greatest thing ever! Let's ALL use it! New paradigm, everyone! New paradigm!"
Grrr...
