My Dumb Blonde Sister
Stoke-on-Trent,
England c. ~1953
This is my Dumb Blonde sister.
Note the naïve look on her face.
Note the look on my face "heh-heh-heh.."

You'd think she'd have learned by now, wouldn't you?

This conversation REALLY happened with my sister!
(She has a degree in *Journalism*--is a travel publicist,
sophisticated, knows all those big media people..etc)

How do you get a blonde to laugh in church on Sunday?
Tell her a joke on Friday!
Cheers, Claire

Pull out the white & brown square ones. The round coconut ones.
And the white liquorice wrapped cylindrical ones.
Send only those.

It's called an 'alias' or "Display Name"
You can 'spoof' people this way.
e.g. you could write to me using the *entire* line:
*@#%^$!-ing annoying nitwit Brother <geoffrey@my.ISP.com>
You have to "copy & paste" the WHOLE line to the To: box
(ignore the hyperlinks of course, as you'll see them, just copy the whole line to the clipboard)
this is the 'alias' = anything before the first 'left' arrow: <geoffrey@my.ISP.com>
Any character seems to work except a comma (delineates next email address)
including spaces, double and single quotes and @ etc.
In *this* email I'm using (this is what you'll see):
"Dumb.Blonde@my.sisters.ISP.com"
using:
Dumb.Blonde@my_sisters_ISP.com<Claire@my_sisters_ISP.com >
I used the "." in 'Dumb.Blonde' to make it look more realistic:
spaces aren't allowed in 'usernames' (yours is: Claire)
In the previous email's I used:
Dumb Blonde<Claire@my_sisters_ISP.com >
