The Lighter Side of Spam

Opened my email this morning and this plopped into my mailbox …

Call out Gouranga be happy!!!
Gouranga Gouranga Gouranga ....
That which brings the highest happiness!!

A quick Google search later and I found this link here.

Given that I’ve been a bit grumpy lately and I was in the room on my own, I thought ‘Why not? There’s no harm is there?’ …

I called out ‘Gouranga! Gouranga! Gouranga!’ very loudly indeed; on the basis that louder would presumably mean happier.

My next door neighbours’ dog started barking.

And then, I thought how stupid the dog must think I am, and started laughing.

So, it works then.

I will shout Gouranga out loudly in the office now, un-announced.
After all, I have nothing to lose, my last day in this job is tomorrow anyway, and everyone will have fond memories of me for doing it.

I have been sacked, a day early.

That's the power of gouranga for you. It's best used sparingly.
