OK, I am running a contest that will test your weird creativity
I get dozens of emails every day trying to sell me stuff. Ya know, spam. I've noticed that the spammers are coming up with the most bizarre and occasionally hilarious email titles to try and get by spam filters. Just got this one:

"You can save few hundreds every month metallurgy"

The email was trying to sell cheap meds. Nothing about metallurgy. Perhaps it is only my odd sense of humor, but I found myself giggling like a titmouse when I read "You can save few hundreds every month metallurgy" out loud.

So here's the contest:

Come up with the best spam-blocker-defeating email headline. The winner will receive total enlightenment. You'll have that going for you, which is nice.

10. Those spammers have nothing--nothing!--on my blind dad emailing me
his stupid fart jokes every damn day.

Every single subject line is like a new language that I have to decifer because not only is he blind, he refuses to spell check AND he's a weirdo who makes up words on a whim anyway. They go a little something...like this:

ArE# you rready for the bLASTOOTRONIC SOUNDs machine? It"s a good one4!

Spammers, kneel before your master.

16. wagga wagga tookie brazillion
Donald Rumsfeld is giving the president his daily briefing. He concludes by saying: "Yesterday, 3 Brazilian soldiers were killed."

"OH NO!" the President exclaims. "That's terrible!"

His staff sits stunned at this display of emotion, nervously watching as the President sits, head in hands.

Finally, the President looks up and asks, "How many is a brazillion?"
