Spam Mails are the Funniest

I am writing this blog entry as a part of Absolute Write Blog Chain August 2008. Well, so far, everyone is talking about funny things. Before me, it was turn of Laurie Ashton and you can find her entry here: Humorous Science Fiction.

I like comedies a lot and I like jokes and humorous stories and novels too. I often wonder that why I am not a funny person! I am just the opposite: very serious and perhaps very boring too. So, I was at a loss about what to write for the blog chain. Fortunately, Spam e-mails came to my rescue.

I use Yahoo and Gmail services. Most people, I know use them too. Both Yahoo and Gmail have excellent features to put the junk mails in the Spam folder. I get a lot of them. I know that most people do not bother to open their Spam folder but I do it everyday. It is not that I am a fan of spam emails but sometimes, important emails go in the Spam folder. That is why, I check Spam Folder on a regular basis.

Some of the junk mails have catching subject line:

how to get out of debt

do you wanna win $6408

Every week, I get an email that I have won more than $1 million in a lottery I never heard of. I also receive emails from so called relatives of a overthrown king or a general of an African country to help them transfer some millions of dollars of funds. In fact, in Spam mails, there is promise of everything- health, money, fame, getting LCD TV etc.

I find Spam mails very funny. In fact, I consider them to be funnier than any joke that I read.

In the last 7 days, two Spam Mails caught my attention and gave me some laugh.

The heading of the first email was: You’ve received a greeting ecard

Google warned me this way: Warning: This message may not be from whom it claims to be. Beware of following any links in it or of providing the sender with any personal information.

I am curious about everything but I am not curious to disobey mighty Google’s warning. So, I did not follow the link.

The second email said in the subject line: Teachers Needed

So, I thought that it was a job advertisement. When I opened it then I saw that it was advertisement of a Teaching course of a College. It had no relationship with any job. You don’t need to go to college to know that if you finish your university degree then you have the qualification for getting a job.
