Talking Funny spam

A thread to share funny spam. I'll kick it off.........
Under a heading of :
Quote:
"Do you require to perceive first rate future morning time"
I received the following e-mail:
Quote:
Our recent survey displays that it needs an average of just 1.3
drunkenness to induce a katzenjammer. But our tablets
assistances you evade hang-overs and waken feeling magnificent from caput
to abdomen and all over else.

Re: Funny spam

Hmmm.....

Emails containing nothing but random words.....

Sounds like every email I have ever sent whilst drunk!

Seriously though, I can't contribute to this thread as I never get any spam. I feel very left out.

I know what you mean - what I do get is deleted without reading it, so I can only guess at the content, from the title......

Re: Funny spam

This one amused me somewhat - a spam with some random words inserted.

incorporating a mixture of weeds known for boosting intimate
longing and fulfilment. By victimization our lozenge you
should experience an addition in intimate craving, an improvement
in your size and discharge, too as increased power
and joy during sexual activeness.

Re: Funny spam

Are they random words or are they merely a product of really bad translation?

They are random words designed to bypass the Bayesian filter. The first one may be funny. After that they are just as annoying as the rest.

Wierd, because they make the spam really annoying to read and hence very likely to be binned

I suppose the reasoning is that it is less likely to be filtered and therefore more likely to be read.
