One man took a flight to a distant city. During the flight he saw a live cockroach. He wrote an angry letter to the president of the airline.
He got this reply:
"Thank you for informing me about the terrible incident on your flight. I have issued orders to change the cleaning of all our aircraft. The cleaning crew in charge of yours has been fired.

When this was building I suddenly began receiving about 60 spam emails a day on my gregjackson1948@qwest.net account, the one I use for this blog. I know that software could have done it, but I wonder if someone wanted to get even. If so, I have to mention my spam software. It moves all the junk into a folder and deletes it.
