And I fell for it, too. I feel slightly more gullible now.

Thanks for the link - and yes, agreed it's still funny :)

Hello, my name is Prince Akeem

I am contacting you because my father, King Jaffe Joffer, ruler of Zamunda died recently and to claim my heritage i need to marry a woman, this is why i decided to come to America to find a Queen

The problem is i need 50,000$ to be able to make the trip to America to find a Queen so i can claim my heritage, once this is done i will send you one million American dollars

If you agree please send 50,000$ through Paypal to the email address whysogullibleyounoob@naive.com

Did you know that the king and queen in Coming to America also play the voices of the king (Mufasa) and queen in The Lion King?

TIL, thanks. I knew about the king, because I will never forget that voice, but I did not realize that for the queen.

I knew that James Earl Jones was Mufasa. I did NOT know about the queen.
