I don't think we have done this one We all hate it but occasionally even I think very original. Lately I have been getting one my USPS parcel was missed. Someone must know my buying habits (paranoia). Got the Lonely Russian Woman today who is sitting there right now just waiting for me . I know this poll could be cosidered spam but if you have any really shifty or outright appalling ( without to much detail) or funny ones mention it------------- Matt |

Being a woman, when I get the Viagra ads or the letters from lonely Russian women I can't help laughing... The Viagra ads translated into Italian with the help of one of those notorious online translators are particularly hilarious.

| I've had my e-mail account for so long I don't even pay attention to the crap anymore. In fact it's getting kind of hard to find the e-mails I really need to read as I have signed up for some non-spams (if you know what I mean) also. |

I get all kinds of spam. the viagra adds are the most annoying, but at the same time come up with some of the more interesting subject lines. "Activate your night missile"; "Your pork sword will be ready for action" (never really thought of those terms for my pocket rocket before); "Women will be at your mercy" (are you trying to sell me viagra or a gun?  ); "Your girlfriend will be happy" (why are you going to send someone to wash the dishes? ) .
Also, I love the scams where they say "My rich father who used to be president of the country of (insert name of African country here) was killed in a military coup and now I'm trying to smuggle $800 million of his money out of the country. Let me put it in your bank account -because I always trust people I've never met with that kind of money- and I'll give you half. This is perfectly legal and safe." ------------- I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you? |

Just to be ironic, my vote is on this site as the most originally advertised, for I don't think Ive seen an advertisement to this site, except perhaps from bands who are linking me to their reviews. That's clever stuff. Also: "Somewhere out there is a company that has actually figured out how to enlarge penises, and it's helpless to reach potential customers." --Randal Monroe |

It is really a good chance for shopping. Just grasp the opportunity, Now or never! Visit (wto-store.com) Even I get Canadian Pharmacy down here at the bum end of the world
 Don't worry if sexual failure happens I will be right ( my get up and go hasn't got up and gone yet) and as for my money not an issue........luckily the bank emailed me and all I had to do was give all my bank account numbers and they said they would fix the issue. It was not a problem at all I just asked my Nigerian mine manager to forward them on for me------------- Matt |

| You should have mentioned the "you've won £50 billion pounds in our lottery that you didn't enter, please send us £50,000 for the admin fee and we'll send you your winnings". I was reading only yesterday that someone was scammed £24,000 in this way. A few years ago, a woman not only fell for it and paid the money, but she actually flew to Holland to hand the money over. |

I just got one from the FBI that said that I had to get a document from the Bureau of Economic Crimes Unit to prove that the $1.5M transfer I'm getting from the Bank of Nigeria is not the proceeds of criminal or terrorist activity. The document costs $250. Failure to get this document and show it to the FBI will result in my eventual arrest and a long prison term. You know though the English was terrible. I would expect an FBI director to have better English skills than that.
Oh yeah, and I got one saying I could be her drillosaur tonight. What the  is a drillosaur? ------------- I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you? |
