The SPM looked in the mirror and said to himself, "Why me?" He thought to himself isn't the SPM a loyal member of the 2+2 family of poster children. When he wakes up in the morning, does he not run to the computer? Turn it on, double click AOL, and punch in the appropriate codes. Then in a masculine voice AOL says WELCOME! You got mail! "Forget the mail," says the SPM, "it's time for 2+2." His crippled arthritic fingers type in the www dot 2+2 spelled out of course dot com slash enter, and his commands race threw syber space to the land of poker wisdom.
The ride is bumpy with the screen jidering back and forth rushing to the familiar yellow pages of 2+2. Finally the SPM reaches the door way to poker wisdom. He clicks on his favorite forum OTHER TOPICS. The command is accepted by 2+2 and the endless computer commands search for the site. 50% 65% 95% breathless with anticipation the SPM watches and waits 98% 100% DONE. There it is OTHER TOPICS, he reaches for the mouse and clicks on the scroll arrow. But wait, nothing happens, the page is frozen! Panic grabs the SPM! What's going on he screams in his head? But no one answers. Then the little hour glass appears from out of no where. The WWW web page pops up and the computer is on a collision course to the evil SPRINKS. It takes another thirty seconds for the Sprinks page to open. Finally the SPM is able to X out the Sprinks and Other Topics is finally available.
THIRTY SECONDS! Yes that's right! 30 seconds of wasted electricity, 30 seconds of lost reading time, 30 seconds of posting time gone forever, 30 seconds of computer life lost...WHY ME? Cries the SPM. What evil did the SPM ever do to Mason, David, & Ray?
Thirty seconds three times a day three hundred sixty five days each and every year. 32,850 seconds of wasted time. 547.5 minutes per year gone! Over nine hours per year with no compensation. Sprinks rapes time from the SPM and for what? Will the SPM ever invest even one penny to SPRINKS? No he will not!
Please Mason, David, Ray why do you persecute the SPM? Are his stories that bad? Is it because the SPM hasn't got a clue where a coma should go? Why?
SPM,...losing time every single day to Sprinks...
