Bonus Joke

I was sorting through some old email from this week, I came across a spam message from a few day ago that somehow slipped through Spam Assassin and my Entourage filters. The way I look at it, if an email can make it through those vigorous filters, it must be pretty interesting. So, I gave it a look.

The top part of the message from the normal viagra/vicodin/xanax crap that you see all the time. The interesting part, however, was at the bottom of the message. It said "Bonus Joke" and then had a joke typed out. Here's the text of it:

Nutty Hunters Two men went hunting. Joe had been hunting all his life, but Steve was hunting for the first time. Joe told Steve to sit down and not make a sound. So he did. But when Joe got 100 yards away, he heard a scream. "I thought I told you to be quiet!" he said. "Well, I was when the snake bit me," said Steve. "And I was when the bear attacked me... but when the two chipmunks crawled up my pant leg and said, 'Should we eat them or take them with us,' I screamed."

Wow, what a value. You know, all along I've thought of spam as being useless. And I'm guessing that the spammers have somehow heard my complaints and are now trying to add some kind of VALUE to the spam that they send me. What a concept. If this is the case, then maybe I'll start opening more of my spam in the future!

The truth is, the spammer inserted that text as a method to "sneak" through my spam filters. I guess it worked.
