A funny AIM message from way back

Published to Blog on 9 Dec 2004

I thought I would share something that I keep at the bottom of my inbox.  It’s always there if I need to put a smile on my face.

I got this message on AIM from a co-worker way back in September of 2001:

mark: hey?

dan: what’s up

mark: I think that you gave me whatever you have

mark: I started getting dick last night

mark: feels like sinus

I’m pretty sure he meant “sick“ instead of “dick“, but it’s definitely much funnier the way it was sent.  Hope you enjoy it as much as I have over the years.
