4 ..Poor Sally Fileds. Imagine what it must be like to have to work with other folks at the Galactic Spam Center whose names are:

Torpedoes H. Repute
Tricky M. Briefing
Orient C. Kitty
Tabloids L. Sneering
Miscalculating L. Termagant

All of those are names that showed up in my spam filter over the last 24 hours. And what did they want to talk about with me, you ask? The following are actual subject lines, again from the last 24 hours:

by no ponce
A esoteric at compost
Of turk at segundo
in prorogue so circle
by tweeze the canyon

And my personal favorite:

Thou walk in the water; and did his goods, I smote him

That one sounds like somebody took Isaiah out and got him good and hammered.

I am full-goose bozo confused, fellow burgers. The number of people who would actually open a mail with one of those names and subject lines has got to be so small as to be nearly unmeasurable. What possible advantage or profit could these people be getting?

7 Whenever I get A "Nigerian" I return post the last hundred other "Nigerian's" That I got in their entirety, I understand that internet access is very expensive over there, so hopefuly I make them pay out Much Dinero for pure crap.
I only had one scammer ever answer after that, one that was trying the "My Mother Is Dying Routine" He actualy Asked me to "Stop harrassing his poor dying mother, I promptly sent him my entire file, all 300 (or so) and including his own scam attempt as the last, Heard no more from him.

If only that were true. I think you misunderestimate the actual number of idiots in the world.

*...the "misunderestimate" was intentional!
