On this page, I will post the funniest emails I receive on any given day. So email shortarmguy@aol.com the best stuff you get. I’ll only post the cream of the crop and not the other crap I get. Although I didn’t create the items on this list, my feeling is that they’re in the public domain since they were emailed to me with 600 other people. So no more damn copyright lawsuits!

The Center for Disease Control has released a list of symptoms of bird flu. If you experience any of the following, please seek medical treatment immediately:
- High fever
2. Congestion
3. Nausea
4. Fatigue
5. Aching in the joints
6. An irresistible urge to shit on someone’s windshield.
Is it just me, or does anyone else think that the hype about Bird Flu may be a little much. Michael Crichton wrote a great book about this phenomenon where he theorizes that there is a mass conspiracy of politicians, the media and scientists to keep the masses in a constant State of Fear. His rationale for them doing this basically comes down to power and money. The scientists develop a theory of a nightmare scenario. The media helps promote the fear because it keeps people buying their newspapers and magazines. The politicians jump in to be the heroes and come to society’s rescue by throwing tons of money at the scientists who rang the alarm bell in the first place. In the book he talks about Global Warming, but I think it could easily apply to this “potential avian pandemic” as well.
If you’re into conspiracy theories, you should really check out the book, because it’s a very interesting read! Here’s a link to Amazon where you can buy a new or used copy for cheap!

Hey Short Arm Guy!
I absolutely adore your site. I am on a similar mission for a class here at ithaca, where I am creating a blog displaying a collection of some random doo-dads from around the net to get people to laugh (more specifically for me, help them procrastinate). I came across your site and am going to put a big fat link to it on my blog. Additionally I would like to send a story I have come across I think you might get a kick out of:
(If you’d like to read Theo’s story, please visit his Blog at: http://procrasturbationonline.blogspot.com It’s under Thursday, November 3rd. Warning: It’s a little Raunchy!)
Thanks a lot for providing the internet with some good humor. Keep it up.

Canadian Storm Damage
With all the news about weather damage from hurricanes in the USA, typhoons in China, flooding in Switzerland and mud slides in South America, we shouldn’t forget that Canada has its share of devastating weather.
Attached is a photo illustrating the savage force of Canadian weather; the damage was caused to a friend’s home in North Bay from a recent storm.
It really makes you cherish what you have, and reminds us not to take things for granted.
Take care of yourselves and be safe.

Not really sure how found your site.
Crap, not even sure what I want to say!
Gee, you’re an inspiration? I feel better having read your story?
Dunno, but I felt compelled to write. So, I did. Am.
I guess your story touched me. Pretty neat philosophy you have, and thank
you for it. And what you do to people! If MY kids did that….
I’d applaud them. I only hope I can make them as strong as you are.

That Hurricane Wilma Sure Was Scary!
Shortarmguy has been trading emails with a nice gentleman named John who lives in England and was searching for the origins of the following photograph which was first posted on this website in June of 2001.
When I asked John why he wanted to know, he responded with this:
“The reason that I was interested is because (I/we) have actually made one. It started out as a joke looking at the original ‘spoof’ advert and then we said ‘bollocks’ let’s do it. So we got two old iron hack saws, a bit of plastic piping and a stuffed cat. We then had a few beers with a local who happened to have a wonderful workshop who agreed to make the ‘Tabby Tote’ based on the the graphic. It now exists. Photos to follow.
Apparently I am now a ‘sick bastard’. However this depends on your age. The older you are the less sick and the funnier it gets. I had a cracking laugh today walking round the pub with the ‘cat’ and you would be surprised how many people will not say anything.
Regards
John”
John later sent me this photo of his kids posed with his creation:
