My favorite spam said “For you — a future in beef jerky.”

Perhaps that’s true, but I try not to dwell on it!

Like all human endeavours, people will pick on you because they know that they can attack you with their spam emails but you don't got jack in weaponized viruses to send back to them.

It's all about deterence and how many computers people are willing to crash and trash to create a reason for spammers to stop.

It's all about defense, up until the point that people can no longer afford to tolerate it.

Girls may just want to have fun, (which is not to say that nobody ever should) but adults have responsibilities, more's the pity.

As for the "spam", I'm with snowonpine...

I always did like Johnny Cash. Thank G-d I’ve wisely invested in Nigerian banks!

In addition to lots of messages from the above mentioned types of idiots I also have had the pleasure of receiving several variations on the Nigerian bank scheme–“we have contacted you because of your illustrious reputation in the business community, etc., etc.”
My favorities are the phishing messages telling me that I had better send my password and account numbers to–take your pick–assorted government agencies, several credit card companies, auction sites, various other companies and even a bank where I don’t have an account at, or dire consequences will follow. What I wouldn’t give for some sort of button that I could push that would destroy these cretin’s ability to send crap like this to me. I’m really getting tired of having to evaluate and delete the many junk messages still left over after my pretty efficient email program has weeded out the majority of this trash.

I don’t know if spammers know the gender of their recipients but I have received literally thousands of emails promising to enhance the size of my generative member. I also routinely receive emails from someone who can’t spell offering share tens of millions of dollars with me if I contact them back. Finally, I frequently receive emails from some woman has been experimenting by taking pictures of herself nude, and would I please download her pictures and take a look? Those are the majority of my spams.
