I appreciate the effort you have gone to with this, my friend. I suppose it is possible to copy & paste to HMT, but my normal method is to copy it out, usually by hand, or 2-fingered typing. Anyway, that’s what i’ll do for the board at work, and someone can find the music.
All good wishes

A little sign I had on the wall behind my desk read like this " Should the Unknowing, order you the unwilling, to do the impossible for the ungrateful, let me know what they want you to do, and I will show you how to do anything with nothing"
It was meant to be a dig at our sales staff and management while building the moral and confidence of my engineering staff and the workers on the floor.

Being retired now, I'm unlikely to need it, but I'm adding it to my aphorisms wall. With attribution.

You get spam, I get spam, we all are subjected to phishing, and endless yet unnamed schemes.
This however, current reigning World Champion......If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, blind them with bull****, Uncle Samuel [the salesman] would say.

I can already see my first day in the office................
Teaching you decent English composition, you twit.
I'd be there already, but must relieve commitment of current task. I'm sending bull**** spam emails, though clearly not the level you've attained.

That might be the case, a mixed up jumble of translation, regional terms, and who knows what else. I can't stereotype any clear nationality out of it, there's a lot, but nothing Hispanic.
Occurred to me while reading [trying to], the Package Manager spam of old is worldwide, meaning whatever language it originated in, been stretched way out of shape many times.
I'm thinking some inventive dipstick ran his Elbownian [a famous Dilbert nationality] version through google translate wringer, plus his own touches, for this work of art

Oooooh Look what the web hath wrought!
I'm up early this US Labor Day with no thought in mind other than getting the elusive initial setting of brake shoes to new drums. Previous attempts are disappointing. Anyway, opening Google, it's awash with pink-fingered layabouts heaping praise on 'workers' (apparently laborers now a demeaning phrase), gushing praise for what we do...via twitter, facebook, instagram ad infinitum. However, the pictograms depict NONE of the folks toting spud wrenches, shovels, washrags, weld stingers, survey tools, hack saws, or brooms; nor erecting cranes, elbow deep cleaning engine parts, tending crops, conducting forestry, breaking down forest fires...yet spout that tired refrain "they're fighting for us".
********.
Meanwhile pointing out many are the very same well-wishing ilk who shut down pipeline, construction and other infrastructure projects.

Hmmm. That series of asterisks are not result of my careful typing. I've been canceled? Quantity reflects however exactly those of phrase.
OK! Substitute El Toro PooPoo, aka Mountains of Guano, or the waste ushered away by another unsung infrastructure, our first world sewer system.
Somehow, I'm now even more satisfied.
