The color palette and obvious softness.

My work email account baffles me. Sending out an important PR announcement email to the entire network via our blast email program usually requires a good few hours of testing, tweaking and adjusting words so that it will make it's way past the companies "tight" spam filters. Yet, i come into work in the morning with a plethora of fun-filled spam messages in my inbox. If you ever have any questions about penis pumps or Viagra, I am your girl. I've even got coupon codes.

Most are organ-enlargement related but this one was a gem. I'm convinced that there's some really powerful cryptic messages between these lines. I believe these came from the Mohandas Gandhi of the binary world. I've bolded some of my favorite lines.

Note to self: the next time an important work email that you're trying to send gets blocked, change the subject line from "Introducing our new CEO" to "With a bigger device you will feel a bigger man."
