The 'Not Much Going For Him' - The lad who seems to reply to just about anything he recieves, regardless to how mindless it is. He then laps up anything you feed him.

Example: I was bored a couple months ago and found an email in my catcher account from a refugee named Newman. Naturally, I thought of the Seinfeld character and fired this off, not expecting anything in reply.

I wrote:

Oh Shit Newman!

I thought you still lived in Jerry and Kramer's apartment, since when did you farm cocoa?

He wrote:

Hello Sarah,

I am not that^newman you think that i am ok, i am from Ivory Coast here in west africa, so please you better think of it very well ok.

Please just write and let me know if really you will be intrested in helping me or not.

Newman.

A few completely idiotic emails back and forth and I couldn't be bothered emailing him any more. He frantically emailed me like 4 times before giving up. Like a month later I sent him this

I wrote:

Hey newman we havent spoken in a while, how are things?

he wrote:

Hi Sarah Kelly,

Listen, you are the one who is silence to me, i am a simple man as my name is also Newman, so do not play me and let me know what is in your mind ok, i trusted you but you are trying to betray me due to i am here in africa.

What have i done to offend you ?, why are you silence to me ,? only becuase that i asked you to send me a little money which i will use to buy myself food since then you stop communicating with me why??, i am in love with you and you know that but you made me cry all days till today you get back to me.

My love, i am not happy

NEWMAN

I wrote:

i dont like that newman

i thought we were like this, but it turns out we're like that? what's gotten into you? you used to be cool

he wrote:

Hi,

Yes i used to be cool but it's seems that you did not apreciate it, do you know that i am living in hunger ?, dose it mean that you can not be able to send me even $20 dollars to buy something to eat ?, dear sarah, try to be in my shoe and you will see what i am talking about.

Do you realised that i am an orphan ??, but you are there in the state enjoying life while i am here in africa surffering why ?, please do something eventhough to send me some little money to buy myself some food that will be appreciatable to me and to the sight of God ok.

I always loved you and will not go back untill when will shall meet face to face.

I love you

Newman.

I wrote:

Newman why do you think I am so well off? I am not doing well either, but you never gave me any sympathy.
<and then I just pasted the entire lyrics to the Grandmaster Flash classic "The Message" here. Good song.>

he wrote:

OK GOOD BYE

I wrote:

hi again
how are you?

he wrote:

Cool

I wrote:

can we be friends again? i miss you

Two Lad Lawyer types...

The Gent: stresses his magnanimity and decency.

I DO NOT WANT TO BELEIVE THAT I AM ACTING IN SELFISH INTEREST FOR NOT CHARGING ANY FEE YET BECAUSE BY PROFESSIONAL ETHICS HERE I AM SUPPOSED TO HAVE COLLECTED SUM PART OF THE FEEE AS PART OF MOTIVATION AND YOUR READINESS TO SEEK MY SERVICES. ALL THIS LEVEL OF MY MAGNANIMITY IS WITH MUCH CONSIDERATION TO WHAT YOU HAVE SO FAR PASSED THROUGH IN HAVING THIS YOUR FUNDS.

The Insufferable: smug and arrogant.

Quote:

I will go ahead to briefly introduce myself to you because I am an erudite attorney of international repute who believes in the rule of law, justice and equity. People who engage my services are startled by my sparkling track record to always like to retain my services.
It is on my record that my clients go to sleep whenever I pick up their case because I am a victor. I am a specialist in financial law and foreign payment claims.
