There will be spam in the afterlife

My friend Michael passed away last year in a tragic accident. Imagine my surprise then to open up my email client program and to see an email from him with the subject line 'Hi!' It sent a chill down my spine. And then I began to read "On this website, you can find many new and origianl electronic products ..." And then I realized that a spambot had taken over Michael's email account, and that I had received a zombie email. The zombie email was not trying to eat my brain, just to get me to click through a link. And then it would turn my email account into a zombie that would seek further victims.

Before this I knew one thing with certainty about what happens after we die: we will all become mormons at some point after death through the postumous practice of baptism by proxy. (Google "mormon holocaust" and you will find out how the mormons baptized all of the victims of the holocaust as mormons 'by proxy'.)

And now I have learned with certainty a second thing about what happens when we die: we will be sending spam to our friends and loved ones.

Welcome to the afterlife, my fellow future mormon spammers.

This one goes out to you Michael.
