    which of you was scammed?

    Malaysian man buys penis enlarger online but gets sent a magnifying glass | Mail Online

    Malaysian man comes up short after buying £100 penis enlarger online... but gets sent a £5 magnifying glass with warning 'Do not use in sunlight'
    Man, named only as Ong, spent £100 online on penis enlarger
    When it arrived he found the box contained a £5 magnifying glass
    He has complained but officials say it is unlikely he will get money back

    Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

      I feel sorry for Paul Ness growing up in my village, the number of crank calls he got asking for Mr Ness, Mr P Ness must have been astronomical
      Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.

      No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.

        That's nothing - A couple of years ago I crazily shelled out £1000 for an early 19th century antique magnifying glass the size of a dinner plate, which turned out have a concave lens and was thus a shrinkifying glass!!

        Apparently short-sighted people used to use them to read small print, although why they didn't just wear specs I can't imagine.

        Anyway, I kept the thing as it might go up in value slightly in a century or two, however useless it seems now.

          You'd be cross if you bought that as a penis enlarger.

            Lamebook had the same "story" in December (linky), with the same person's Facebook post from last October.

            It's been doing the rounds for a while.
