Pete – Repeat – Delete

When you’re kid some jokes are just funnier than others. When you are an adult, those same jokes may not be as much amusing as they are annoying.

Kind of like boomerang email. The Pete and Repeat space squatters, Internet invaders of Inboxes.

They are the emails you receive and delete (and then delete the deleted emails) and; then, some not-distant-enough time in the not-far-enough-in-the-future, they reappear in your Inbox – again.

Same email but usually trapped in the endless folds of a forward of a forward of a forward from some well-meaning friend of a friend of a friend who just wanted to share this interesting, important, must-see information.

I have seen it! I saw it the first time and the second time and I checked it out and it is no longer true or never was true or “okay it’s true but I know it already.” Enough is enough.

Speaking of childhood, when I was a kid I loved the television show Mission: Impossible. I loved the drama, the deception, the devious disguises and the fact the good guys always won. Not to mention the awesome music and that burning fuse.

I also loved the part where the mission orders said, “This tape will self-destruct in five seconds.”

Don’t you just love a happy ending?
