If you can have a sense of humor about it, getting spam in your email can provide you with a daily shot of mild amusement. Take for instance one of the spam emails I got in my inbox over the weekend:

Reply: Shy Prostitute wants to meet you

In the first place, how can you be a shy prostitute? Doesn't the career choice of prostitute mean that you can't be shy? Yes, you can, by nature, be shy and still be a prostitute. However picking that job kinda means you have to put aside your retiring inclinations, does it not?

Secondly, given that she wants to meet me, aren't we back to point number one? Okay, she's shy, but given that I'm getting this comment about 'wanting to meet me' via email, isn't it a commercial interest? If I understand the situation properly, wouldn't her interest in me be monetarily based, and thus a scenario where she can't be shy?

Like I said to start, there's amusement to be found in spam. Try it sometime. Just read a few of the headers, as they appear in your inbox. You might find a chuckle.

I gotta go. Someone just sent me an email that promises huge discounts on Viagra. I gotta check that out! Toodles!
