misleading emails

Around 2pm one of my co-workers received an email, it sounded something like this:
*******************************
Hi Jane,

Attached is the photo of a handbag we've been talking about. Hopefully in January I'll be able to go down to Tucson and see you and everyone else. I'll bring the new line of handbags we have. Maybe I'll stay for a couple of days so I can get some peace in Arizona.

J-
*********************************

So she opened the attachment thinking she was going to see a new handbag.








Instead the only photo attached was similar to this one...














The real picture had this man in a tight black shirt and blue jeans out on a deserted desert road. He had sunglasses on and his thumbs were in his front belt loops and his hands formed a diamond shape around his zipper. Pretty much a shot of him saying "Come on, you know you want this."

So we laughed and laughed because we have all met him. On the phone he sounds like a really cute 20 something. When he came in for his vendor meeting I was kind of jazzed thinking I'd see a really hot guy and was so disappointed when I saw the real guy. His hair is his prized possession and he even said he takes 2 hours to do it. When I saw his hair it was all greasy and slimy. His overall personality kind of gives you the heebie jeebies. He thinks he is God's gift to women. So we all made fun of Jane for getting this email. We told her to reply asking him for the handbag photo or something like "I couldn't open the attachment can you send it again?" I asked her if I could post it on the web but she wouldn't forward the email. So I looked him up on Google and turns out he is in some rock band called Erocktica and his web page has a slide show of him trying to look hot.

So we can't wait for J- to come in for his next vendor meeting. We will spend the whole meeting looking down at our hands because if we make any type of eye contact during that meeting we will probably all bust up laughing.
