So, I opened up my email account this morning like I always do, only this time I actually looked at my junk mail before I deleted it all. Mind you, I didn't OPEN my junk mail, I just checked out the subject lines. Among them . . .
"You Can Beat Alcoholism" - - I have never had a drink in my life. Now, if it had said, "You Can Beat Sugar Addiction" or "You Can Beat TV Addiction" or "You Can Beat Michael Phelps at the 200", I might have been interested. But, as put, I don't think so.
"Toe Nail Fungus Treatment" - - two junk mails on that one. I think I've mentioned before that I don't have the most attractive feet. But last time I looked, I didn't see any fungus growing. But maybe I should just save that one . . . just in case. You never know when that creepy fungus is going to attack.
"Grow a big package today" - - and I don't think they were talking about FedEx. I have never met a man named Judy but I have heard of a boy named Sue.
"BEST PRICE ON ALL DRUGS" - - that just sounds wrong.
No wonder it's called junk mail.
Random thoughts of a girl who used to try to fit in the box. Then I realized that boxes are stupid. Except this box, the one above. It's really pretty.
I am always surprised they don't put something else in the subject line so that I might open it!
ReplyDeleteSssssh - don't give them any ideas.
DeleteNo e-mail from a prince somewhere in Africa that will give you tons of money, if you just send him a tiny bit to start the whole process? I agree, you better keep the toenail thing just in case. One never knows when it might come in handy.
ReplyDeleteI DID lose my big toenail from all that tracting in Venezuela :)
DeleteToo funny! I agree with Andrea: You'd think these people would put something in the subject line that would actually make us open these things.
ReplyDeleteLet's just hope they stay dumb
DeleteI laughed so hard at this post! I get a lot of junk advertising male enhancement and viagra. And other scams saying I've won foreign lotteries or a beneficiary on someone's estate. HA!
ReplyDeleteI don't know how many times I've been told my credit score has changed.
DeleteHehehe I love how they're still trying...does anyone ever give that kind of mail a second look?
ReplyDeleteIs it for religious reasons that you've never had a drink?
I am Mormon, and that's why I don't drink. Although I didn't join that church until I was in my 20s, and never drank before that! So, I guess the answer to your question is yes and no :)
DeleteWait. What? Never a drink EVER? Can you please do a post on this. I'm Catholic. We have wine AT MASS. You must have some great "only sober person at the party" tales to share. C'mon. For me?
ReplyDeleteYour wish is my command :)
DeleteThank you. (: or :) Which way is that supposed to go anyway?
DeleteI got one about enlargement the other day.
ReplyDeleteSince I don't have one, I will pass.
I cringe in the junkmail because there is times I am at work checking e-mails see that there is 47 junk mails so I go in to empty it and BLAM I see meet wild sexy co-eds male enhancement sex sex and weird singles dot.com stuff right as a co-workers comes to my desk to ask a questions the red face and comment that I was deleting never works for a good 2 days there is an uncomfortableness from me that they think I was reading them LOL
ReplyDeleteThat happened to me once . . . so so so embarrassing!
DeleteI have been invited to so many "secret jackpots" .. *sigh* I could very well be rich!
ReplyDeleteyou are one of the richest young women I know, Larissa :)
DeleteI get junk text messages too. Apparently I have been miss sold enough PPI insurance to pay off the UK budget deficit and had so many accidents I am now minus both arms, five legs and a head - hopefully the SEX SEX SEX and penis enlargement spammers will stick to email and save my blushes on the bus though! :-/
ReplyDeleteOh Ermie, you crack me up!
DeleteThose are funny! I can't say I've ever had anything like the toe nail fungus or package enlargement sent my way. I hope they don't find me!
ReplyDeleteI hope they never find you either, Sherry. I got another one this morning when I opened my mail!
