You know that fortune-cookie running joke where you read your fortune cookie and add “in bed?”

This afternoon I briefly wondered if a similar running joke could be perpetuated by adding “with a magnifying glass” to the subject lines of penis-related prowess spam.

The joke worked for roughly the next five spams to slip through my filters… but none since. Oh well.

Photo not withstanding “with a measuring tape” wouldn’t work either.

Still, there’s got to be something useful to do with spam titles besides curse your filters and/or spammer’s non-socially-productive innovations in spam-filter thwarting.

Suggestions?

I started the Spam As Folk Art blog to do something useful with hilarious spam.
