Eleven reasons e-mail is like a penis:
 
  11. Those who have it would be devastated if it was ever cut off.
 
  10. Those who have it think that those who don't are somehow
  inferior.
 
  9. Those who don't have it may agree that it's neat, but think
  it's not worth the fuss that those who have it make about it.
 
  8. Many of those who don't have it would like to try it, a
  phenomenon psychologists call "E-Mail Envy."
 
  7. It's more fun when it's up, but this makes it hard to get
  any real work done.
 
  6. In the distant past, its only purpose was to transmit
  information vital to the survival of the species. Some people still
  think that's the only thing it should be used for, but most folks
  today use it mostly for fun.
 
  5. If you don't take proper precautions, it can spread viruses.
 
  4. If you use it too much, you'll find it becomes more and more
  difficult to think coherently.
 
  3. We attach an importance to it that is far greater than its
  actual size and influence warrant.
 
  2. If you're not careful what you do with it, it can get you
  into a lot of trouble.
 
  And the #1 reason E-mail is like a penis . . . .
 
  1. If you play with it too much, you go blind.
