Spam of the Day (so far)

Once again I've been stymied by techincal issues at work.
I can paste something as long as I don't format it or include weblinks. Anything else I'll have to email home and then post at night. Sigh.

Anyway, I'm also introducing a SPAM OF THE DAY feature! Everyday at work I get something like 200 spams. Really. Some are really banal but every now and then someone goes above and beyond. It's not just the price of their Viagara/Hoodia/Cialis - it's the salesmanship. It could be a great subject line, amusing email address or even randomized text that happens to be composed in Iambic pentameter

The Runner-Up is "Geisha Bingo"''s offer of "3d Bingo like you've never seen!" but since it's obvious that I've never seen 3d bingo....who cares?

Today's winner is....Azariah Caddy! He (she?) is a professional cialis salesperson.
The catchy subject line (shandrydan spindrift) really draws you in. Then you get the following great message:

I'm sold!

[UPDATE: I didn't think I'd be back so soon but I just got the exact same email from Fawzi Moorman. Beyond the phonetic resemblance to a certain Muppet, Fawzi also gets points for a creative subject line: "fishy settling." My sense of humour is very fish-based.]
