I make it a point to read email subject matters before I delete the contents of spam folders. (And it’s not because I don’t have a life) For one, legit emails sometimes do get shunted to spam bins by servers. (I did email you that report, honest) For another, they have entertainment value. Um, for me, anyways.
For instance, were it not for spam I would not have found out that there are more names for the reproductive organs than I cared to know. Last time I checked, the male organ had about ten aliases; way more than the names they gave to the female organ. (Why am I not surprised?) On the other hand though (and this might just be a case of cosmic justice) my male colleagues complained of getting inundated by emails that suggested that hydraulic operations needed to be done on their systems.
Spammers often pick on the celebrities of the moment. At some point, Britney Spears reigned supreme. And then Brangelina. And now it’s Paris Hilton.
Sometimes the subject matters form coherent thoughts. Like the ones that say Paris Hilton wants to do something unprintable with you. (She what?!) At other times they seem like an application/program was used to randomly string words together.
But this subject sure made me smile: “SpongeBob in paternity suit filed by Paris Hilton”
Way to go, SpongeBob!
Hmm, I wonder what Patrick and Squidward had to say about that?
