SHARK BAIT OF THE DAY

Wait, you do WHAT?
We have an admin assistant who is, well, "fries and drink short of a Happy
Meal," so to speak. The help desk started getting e-mails from her about "porn
e-mails" in her mailbox. I look over her mailbox settings, junk mail settings,
edge-roll server settings, ISP filter settings, and they all look just fine, so
I tell her to keep putting them into her junk mail folder ...
