Lt. Morgan Freeman?
Today I received a spam e-mail from "Morgan Freeman", so I opened it and read the first couple of lines:
"Pardon my intrusion; my name is Lieutenant Morgan Freeman, presently I'm on active duty in Iraq. Please, I have an obscured business proposal that will be of mutual benefit to both of us."
The correct response is, of course, no response. But the second best response is "You were great in Bruce Almighty."
I didn't bother reading the rest of the long e-mail.
