The Graveyard of Lost Messages

While IMing (Instant Messaging) today Jason asked,
"Where do you suppose instant messages go when they are lost in the system?"

Jason answered his own question.
'I think that the NSA probably grabs them...and then has them stenciled on the all missing left socks in some sweat shop overseas and then trades them as "stylish Americain clothing" for oil in then middle-east. It's be a shame to think at all those bit and bytes, carrying happy messages between friends and loved ones, simply died an atheistic death in some capacitor somewhere. I'd like to believe they go somewhere else..."

I think...
Hallmark grabs them and turns them into greeting cards.
They get turned into the spam email no one reads anyhow.
They are what makes your system lock up.
The NSA gets them and sends them to their employees to raise self-esteem. (Afterall, how good could you feel about yourself if you worked for the NSA?)
That's where personal ads come from.
