 In the text messaging world LOL (laugh out loud) is the stick
your foot in your mouth killer faux pas of all faux pas. People get so in
the habit of adding LOL that they add it when they shouldn't.
Someone
Texting:
Really
sorry to hear about your dog dying. LOL
LOL?
My dog died, I will so come to your house with a can of whoop-ass.
eMail is no safer. I've
noticed lately that people have started messing with their Signature Files.
You can set up a bunch of Signature Files and choose which one you
want to use for any given eMail. A Signature File usually includes
your name and contact information, and maybe a disclaimer. People sometimes
add a picture, and now it seems they are adding their closing.
An
example Signature File with a disclaimer might look like this;

Sometimes priaism
is due to environmental stimuli that might be eliminated by
social interaction. Most often priapism is the direct
result of a mutation in one gene. However, one of the most difficult
problem ahead is to find out how tight jeans contribute to this
complex pattern of inheritance, such as in the case of mental
illness.
Thanks!, LOL, and that's Cocktail
Talk.
