Oh Those Wacky Nigerians

I get spam. (My guess is that you do to.) Every once in a while, one will catch my eye and make me laugh. I got this one today:

I loved the idea of the FBI delivering lottery winnings. I imagine a door literally bursting open as two FBI agents wearing dark glasses leap inside:

"ATTENTION SIR WE ARE HERE TO INFORM YOU THAT YOU HAVE WON A LOTTERY PLEASE DON'T MAKE ANY SUDDEN MOVEMENTS, KEEP YOUR HANDS WHERE WE CAN SEE THEM AND CONGRATULATIONS!!"

"Thanks. Please get your wingtips off my throat."

If you're curious, I won $800K. This was discovered by the "Intelligence Monitoring Network System", a system presumably built to monitor lottery winnings. Further, the name of the "Agent in-charge" is FRED MBA. I'm guessing he was really proud of his degree. Maybe I should change my name to DEMITRI PHD. Finally, the FBI was kind enough to leave me a contact phone number, with a country code in Nigeria. That must be where the FBI Lottery Division field office is.
