Josh's Spam Of The Week

Despite my best efforts to keep my Inbox clean, annoying spam mail always seems to find its way through. For quite some time, I dilligently deleted these, having no use for them. Lately, though, it seems as though the spam is gaining more and more comedic value as mailers are forced to place more and more utterly random information in the mails to get them through email filters. I thought you might enjoy these, and so every week, I'll bring you some of the best selections. These are 100% real, and have not been edited at all by me. Enjoy!
