Best Profanity Filter Message EVER

Those of you who work for big corporations will be familiar with a little something called the "Profanity Filter." If someone sends or is the recipient of an email that says, "What the hell is wrong with you?" it will be snatched by the Profanity Filter and sent to email purgatory, never to be seen again.

Well, today, someone forwarded this to me, because her contact received a Profanity Block Notification from our server:

Fw: Profanity Notification (Email with Profanity quarantined by US-NJ-XXXXXXX-1)

Hi Karin--I got this e-mail in response to your new Itinerary. I'm really having name problems today. The only thing that could be wrong with the e-mail I sent you is the agent's name which is Eddy DeCock with a space between the e and the C. Let me know if you got the Itinerary. Tnx, Judy


I am still laughing. I would like to know what middle school was like for poor Eddy.

Not as bad as it was for my poor friend Cary Hunt.

I'm a little slow. I totally don't get that.
