former farmer head of state Cote D"Ivoire Pres.Johnny Taka Dump Onu who was
almost lost peanut farm for having small nuts on 19th sept.2001. After
this tragic incident I ran to my neighbor who also had small nuts for
help I didnt get. I then studied hard to getmy nuts bigger. After my
study for months I found the perfect fertilizer....pure BULL SHIT.

and three cents) for not having small nuts now. The only thing I ask in
return is that you help promote worldwide BULL SHIT for fertilizer so
you to can have big nuts. Now, this money is the worlds future for
pure BULL SHIT and big nuts inNigeria.

Tip: read the first post carefully

Do it! ;( ...

lol go for it!

looks legit to me do it !!

Maybe, but you have to take into account the source. Anything posted by him probably won't be read thoroughly. That guy isn't known for being very clever.

haha, no doubt.. people comment on threads they don't even read.

true

I;d say go for it! what do you have to lose?!

this is a fucking joke.. i have about 200 of these in my spam box

Did anyone actually read the first post? Very cleaver, but unfortunate for all of us. I say they bail me out to the tune of 700 billion.

haha, that's fucking brilliant!
