  This is TOO funny! It's tailor-made for bards...

  Somebody sent this spam to my husband today. He nearly died laughing. 
  The funny thing is (or is it sad?) that only a bard or folkie (folk 
  music devotee) would have a clue as to what this is all about. 

  Talk about a new twist on the old "Nigerian 419" email frauds! :D
