Infinitely smaller?

[Chuck(G)]

I got this spam just now:

We are currently currently offering a bunch of the plls offered by
your local supplier at infinitely smaller prices, without the hassle of
a prescription.

So, "infintely smaller" means, what, free?

It has been proven that there is no such thing as infinitely small. It has been proven that there is no interval of time shorter than, when in Boston traffic, the interval between when the light turns green and the horn of the cars behind you start honking.

No, "free" would be the lower bound. So, it's more than nothing and less than something.

This reminds me of the endless mortgage ads that quote a rate of "around 5.5%" when what they are actually offering is 7.1%.

So, if it was 0 degrees yesterday and twice as cold today, how cold is it?

No, just .999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999

So Chuck,

How was someone sellin' wiener pills referred to your email address...??

Well, it's the same address that I use for a bunch of Yahoo groups email. Not saying that it's some unscrupulous folks on Yahoo, but...



It doesn't really matter; when the spam gets too bad, I just close the offending email account and open another one.
