C.: Well, d.c.

is busy cleaning up his emails. He says that it may take a while, since he has some that are five years old. He asked me to write the blog by myself today, but my mind keeps wandering back to what d.c. is doing.

I mean, how does one “cleanup” emails? If you use soap and water, it will ruin the computer! But, if some of those emails are five years old, they must be really dirty, but isn’t it illegal to send dirty emails? Even if it isn’t, there is a way to block lewd or undesirable emails.

That would save d.c. and some other people who get tons of emails a day to not get so many, but some of those programs that block emails are very finicky, and d.c. needs his emails to come through in case someone wants him to send them a manuscript.. I suppose.

Let’s say that d.c. sent a manuscript entitled…oh, MURDER 8.

Some of these finicky programs might go through their wealth of information, very quickly I might add, and see that MURDER 8 is a slang term for fentanyl. So, now there are two things that may get an email blocked: the word “Murder” in the title, as well as the full meaning of the title of the manuscript. So, I suppose that’s why d.c. leaves his email account unfiltered.

Now, there is another interesting word. When advertising cigarettes was popular, most of the manufacturers would note that their cigarettes were “filtered for your protection” according to d.c. He should know because he was alive during the last century, which is a period of one-hundred years, for those of you who don’t know. That would make him over one-hundred years old, I suppose. He doesn’t look a day over ninety-nine and nine tenths to me, though.

Anyway, getting back to the cigarette question, studies have shown that people actually live longer if they smoke unfiltered cigarettes than if they smoke filtered ones. Since I’m the thirty-third cousin twice removed of a famous scientist, I am going to follow my cousin, ELAC’s example
