Too much straw, not enough camel.

Free Gmail Invites

by Ryan Parman • December 5, 2005 • Just for Fun • 4 comments

I’ve had 100 Gmail invites sitting in my account for the past few months. I know many people have an account already, but if there’s anybody out there who doesn’t, I’m handing them out.

But there is one condition… you have to leave a joke in the comments. And not one of those lame “why did the chicken cross the road” jokes, but a good one.

Alright. Who’s got the first one?

Me thinks the fad is over. (I also have 100 invites, and no one to give them to.)

Me three. I’m surprised google hasn’t made it easier to sign up. You still currently need an invite or get an invite via cell phone.
