Sarge wanted one of our canoes too... but he wanted us to ship it to Scotland.

It must work....the scam has been going on for years in one form or another. And hey...I happen to have a cashiers check here for $500,000, but I can't cash it because my cousin is a prince and has been thrown in prison. If you will just send me your bank routing number and account number, I will let you keep $50,000 for cashing it for me.

Personally, I am a little more skeptical than most when it comes to people tossing free money at me....but it must work.

yeah, our boy Harry got ahold of me today too. Funny thing is that I am not selling a canoe. I am looking for one. I thought about sending him a pic of my courting canoe, and getting him to send me the check, but decided it is just too much work to yank his chain.

I told the UK folks that send emails to swim over with US dollars in hand and I would sell the canoe and give them a paddle to make the return trip that much easier.
