This is from the dawn of the internet…. Many years ago…It was the era of AOL and dial up…

A housewife was home, just relaxing after a long day when she saw through her window, her neighbor go out of her home, go out to the mailbox, open it, then close it and go inside. She thought nothing of this.

But then, she watched with growing curiosity as her neighbor repeatedly came out of her house, check the mailbox, then go back in. Over and over and over again.

Finally the housewife goes outside just as the neighbor comes storming out, rips open the mailbox, then slams it closed and gives out a loud scream of anger.

The housewife runs over to her neighbor and asks what's wrong: The neighbor shouts, “MY STUPID COMPUTER KEEPS TELLING ME I'VE GOT MAIL AND THERE IS NOTHING IN THE MAILBOX! ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!! I'M GOING TO THROW IT OUT OF THE HOUSE IF IT KEEPS DOING THIS!!!!!!!!” and rages back into her house.

Later on she's telling her husband this story and he muses, “THAT would explain the pieces of smashed computer on her front lawn!”
