The Dumbass Zone

You are entering another dimension... a dimension not of sight and sound, but of mindless men who write insipid little form mails to every woman with an ad on the personals.

On Thursday, July 29, 1999, Lorina placed an ad which, among other things read, "Well, let's just say if I get one more response from a guy who likes walks on the beach in the moonlight, candlelit dinners for two, watching the sun rise (which is preferable to nuclear winter, I suppose!), raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens, I'm going to scream!"

On Friday, July 30, Lorina received a response to her ad from "hazeleyes@_______.com"

In response to: Wit and Sarcasm Out The Wazoo

Hello. Let me introduce myself. This is me in a nut shell. My name is Joe, I am 36, but look a lot younger, 1/4 Irish, 3/4 Italian, hazel eyes, light brown hair, 5'11". I live in a house I own with my 2 cats and a dog. I have never been married and have no children, but do love kids. I am honest, sensitive, funny, down to earth and just a real nice guy. I enjoy a good conversation, long walks under the moonlight, dining out, movies, being pampered as well as doing the pampering. If I interest you let me know and I will give you my home number so we can have a real conversation. What do you have to lose? If you don't like what you hear just hang up and no harm done. Lets talk.

Lorina resisted the urge to forward this letter to her friends, suppressing a desire to make Austin Powers "Get me out of this nutshell" jokes, bitching about this guy obviously not reading the ad, wondering about "no harm done" in the age of Caller ID and reverse look-up, as well as crude comments about him wanting to be pampered. "He wears diapers???"

On Thursday, August 26, Lorina updated her ad, adding a few more sentences and a new picture.

On Friday, August 27, Lorina once again received a message from "hazeleyes@_______.com"
