Don't Read this Post

I'm getting all this crap email in my gmail account from fools who have the wrong email for their friends and end up sending it to me. So I am reading this one email and get to the bottom and read this standard legalese:

The contents of this message may be privileged and confidential. Therefore, if this message has been received in error, please delete it without reading it. Your receipt of this message is not intended to waive any applicable privilege. Please do not disseminate this message without the permission of the author.
Ahh, did it just say "if this message has been received in error, please delete it without reading it"? How in the hell would you be able to know that unless you read the message? There are dumb legal statements and there ones that are so completely and utterly ridiculous that it blows your mind. I looked up the address of the sender and it turns out it is the law firm WINSTON & STRAWN LLP. If this is the quality of their work I think I would stay away from using these guys.
