I am bored at work. So, recently, I decided to sign up for an international pen pal site. I think I fell down and bumped my head, because I am meeting a lot of strange people. I have a few people that I hold near and dear, but for the most part, the USA is not the only place in the world with retards.

Case in Point:

Everyone knows that you do not correspond with people from Ghana, or any other African Nation. They fall in love almost instantly, and want you to send them money so that you can help them get out of what ever hut they are accessing the internet from.
Anyway, I finally encountered my first Ghana Man. Observe:
