I just reviewed my work In box to see if anything looked fun and I must say I win most boring email subject lines. It was much more exciting when I was collecting info on the tissue digestor, eh,** MM**??
Oh, I know that feeling. I’m on the med school academic annoucement list, they don’t speak english! School of pharmacy is even worse.
I also get messages about research studies looking for human subjects. One study uses the line “Do you have herpes!” :eek: Currently, there are a couple of studies for a new form of birth control. You’d have to be very brave - or OK with an unexpected child - to join that group!
My favorite ever spam mail subject-line was recounted here.
Someone linked this over the weekend, but this is my new favorite site: Spamusement. Hello Me Not Dead and Heath Warning had me laughing like a crazy person

I had to go looking on an old Yahoo account to find some spam, but today it consists of:
He my butterfly

I got one today from a sender calling itself ‘collectively’ - the subject was: Foreach compile-time AddressTable object defined in the object treecompiler tries to find and read the file specified in the objectconfiguration.
I had a manager once send out an email to the entire group of us titled “It’s time for the spank-the-monkey test.” :eek:
Much giggling ensued. And yes, the guy was so white-bread clueless that he had no idea what spank-the-monkey meant. I almost felt sorry for him, but not quite, because he was kind of an ass.
Some of the more interesting recent spam titles from my throwaway box:
On cleghorn everything chamberino
No merrimac no ainsworth
do the mellette
Even snakes need love.
But actually everything gualala
You should hear him roar.
Yeah, but they’ve got a point here; the number of times I’ve had to threaten my kids “no merrimac, no ainsworth! Don’t pretend you haven’t heard me! If you want ainsworth, you can darn well merrimac first, OK?”
