I have no soul to mate with. I’m an ax-murder. I can’t stop myself.
I’ve murdered seventy-one axes already and see no end in site.  All
those folks rummaging through their garages, looking for long
lost axes to grind, weeping…makes me kind of sad, actually…but
that doesn’t mean I’m gonna stop.

But who’s wackier, me, a sinister, unrepentant ax-murderer, or you,
emailing a (random?) address called “devnull?”  It’s not a person, by
the way, it’s a place. A very dark and spooky place.  I don’t know
what you’re advertising (a virtual lap-dance?  a cam-corder
strip-tease in the loneliness of your bedroom?) but if you can
find a soul to mate with in /dev/null, you should be recruiting for
“Heaven” or whatever after-life myth pays a decent wage —
on a millennium by millennium basis — with benefits.

Don’t think they have Health Insurance in “Heaven,” but man, you
should see the Bar and Recreation area!
