Mail Order Queens

From Spam, http://datighyu.com/:

"Beautiful Russian ladies

European and American women are too arrogant for you? Are you looking for a sweet lady that will be caring and understanding? Then you came to the right place- here you can find a Russian lady that will love you with all her heart. Can't find a queen to rule your heart? How about beautiful Russian ladies that have royal blood and royal look? Here you can find hundreds of portfolios of these fine women of any age for every taste. Please excuse us if you are not interested."


I wonder if they got the memo that Russia was in Europe.

And hopefully the Russian queens of men's hearts are not autocrats like Catherine the Great...

The Four Types of Men

"There are four classes of men in the world ; first, those whom every one would wish to talk to, and whom every one does talk of;—these are that small minority that constitute the great. Secondly, those whom no one wishes to talk to, and whom no one docs talk of;—these are the vast majority that constitute the little. The third class is made up of those whom every body talks of, but nobody talks to;— these constitute the knaves. And the fourth is composed of those whom every body talks to, but whom nobody talks of; and these constitute the fools"
