I forgot to add my other case earlier.
I don't know how this person got my e-mail address, but I've been getting really odd letters from someone claiming to be Johan Schmit. The odd part is that this person loves turnips, and for some reason chose to email me about it.
Example:
Date: Thu, 11 Mar 2004 13:45:01 -0800 (PST)
From: "Johan Schmit" <turniplover2002@yahoo.com> Add to Address Book
Subject: 29 Turnips
To:
skettios13@yahoo.com
Dear Dan,
This is Johan Schmit. I have not heard from you in awhile, my friend! I have been keeping track of how many turnips I eat every day. Since the last time you e-mailed me, I have eaten 29 turnips! I know you are thinking that does not seem like a lot of turnips for someone who loves them as much as Johan, but I cannot live on turnips alone! I have been receiving fewer and fewer responses from people about turnips. Why do you suppose this is? I do not understand why anyone would not want to talk about turnips.
Sincerely,
Johan Schmit
None of my friends will admit to doing this, and I have been hesitant to ask Johan for fear of 'ruining' the joke, as I think it's really funny. However I have no clue who this dude is, why he chose to contact me, and what the deal is. In general I just write him back and agree with everything he said in his email, just to be funny.
Anyone heard of this? Or having something similar happen to you?
