My email is slow, can you help me?


I had someone come up to me the other day and start bitching about how slow his email is and how his email client keeps freezing up. He was convinced that the problem was with the email server and demanded that I fix it right away. I told him to calm the fuck down -- not in these words obviously -- and proceeded to take a look at his email client. I then asked him if he had noticed anything unusual about his inbox. He looked at me with this stupid look in his eyes and said "No, what?" I then pointed out that his inbox (inbox alone) had over 100,000 messages and 80% of those he hadn't even read yet. I then told him that there was nothing wrong with the email server or his client and that there was nothing I could do to help him until he cleaned up his inbox. What I really wanted to say was "FUCK YOU, YOU MORON! You are too stupid to use a computer." Fucking PHDs are sometimes dumber than a bag of hammers.
