2. It's a major industry there.

This site has some great stuff on it. Some of the exchanges with these guys are hysterical.

3. I like the 'Do you know Walter Reed?' pitch.

Walter Reed says you are dead and that he has a signed agreement with you to take your eleven million dollar inheritance and so on.

That is the fun one I respond to, the others I delete.
