Gmail invite - who wants it?

You savvy webmasters at GG&J certainly have had a chance at gmail by now (why any of us would need another email account I don't know) but there is some serious buzz around the net about getting one of these gmail accounts (gmail is still in beta until I think August and you need to be *invited* to get set up).
I thought as sort of a thank you for the ton of information I have learned lurking here

, and getting my first free site listed recently due to that knowledge, I would pass on this invitation to the board members. But I don't know who to give it to, nor who even wants one.

So here is the deal - If you want gmail, or just want to lock in a goodusername@gmail.com while they are still available - How about this: post a funny webmaster antidote and I will send the gmail invitation to the most entertaining post. Could be a joke, haiku, SEO story, coding comment line, worst client scenario, poor conversion ratios - whatever you want.

The post that makes me laugh the hardest gets the gmail. If there is a majority of posters commenting that someones' post was the best, then that is who I will go with.

Fine print = obviously this is subjective. I only have one gmail to give away. This is a real and not spam. If there is a tie, I will flip a coin I will need a working email address to send this to. If you already have gmail and just need another invite, well, that is all good too. If you don’t even want gmail but put up the most entertaining post you can choose who gets the invite. I will announce the most entertaining post in a couple days depending on how many posters there are; it is the start of the weekend here in Cali so I will wait until this Monday night at the latest. If there are no posts I will turn around, put my tail in-between my legs, and run back into lurk mode.

BTW, thanks GG&J and posters for all the fantastic info
