Shaun,

You are unbelievably gay. You wasted three minutes of my time for something that was neither interesting nor hilarious. The next time you consider sending an email please think to yourself “Would this make Kyle laugh?” or “Would Kyle think better of me if I sent this?” If the answer to these questions is “Yes” please forward any messages you deem appropriate. However, if you continue to send bull crap emails that lead me to believe that you and Colin are having brainstorming sessions to plan your next mass correspondence, I will be forced to constantly sign you up for Vietnamese Donkey Porn. I am glad you found the email to be inspirational considering you are also the kind of guy I love to hate and maybe you also consider yourself better than “John” because you read the email and said “Well gee golly, I am a twin!” Shaun, you disgust me.

You know the choice I made.

Kyle

Shaun - I liked it.  If I was any better, I'd be twins.  I'm glad you sent it.

Kyle - I didn't waste a minute of my time reading your gay email.  The reason why is b/c I learned how much of a douche you are.  The fact that you would think you wasted THREE MINUTES of your time reading that disgusts me.  When did your time become so important?  You're not THAT cool buddy.  Welcome to reality.  I appreciate humor, but that wasn't even close to funny.  Next time try harder, or don't try at all.
