Second-Best Spam Subject Line Ever

"Re: lets get fucked up tonight on pharm products"

This one came from one "Wilton Walker." Keep 'em coming, ad wizards. I love it.

"We have found it impracticable to successfully place your application in the area designated for application files for which we have a positive outlook"

or

"Harvard to Russo: Drop Dead."


My friend was rejected from the Harvard graduate economics program. The letter said that they were "unable to take favorable action with respect to [his] application."

Folks, we've reached a new low when it comes to euphemisms and consultant-ese. I don't imagine it hurts any less when someone expresses a negative in positive-sounding terms.
 
This exercise will drive you crazy.

While sitting, lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles with it.

While making clockwise circles with your foot, draw the number "6" in the air with your right hand.

Your foot will turn counter-clockwise, and there's nothing you can do about it.
 
Best. Spam Subject Line. Ever.

"Do you know what is Hand-Job? It's very hot action! Read inside! =)"

Almost as good is the sender's name: "Ferdinand Flanagan." Who thinks of this stuff?
