My OperaIf spam was right, we would be in trouble

Hi all,
I dunno about you, but I get allot of spam. I am gonna take a moment and take a mostly humorous look at some of these messages. Tons of it is for Viagra or of the like is what I get. I am not sure I should say it but if the spam was right it would indicate a epidemic of limpage. It would also seem to indicate every other website is a porn site or that we are addicted to it. As one comedian once said, not quoting here because I forgot the exact quote. You would one day get a message that is from grandma and reads as follows.
Yes, people I am making fun of spam here. I figure you have to at one point or another to just relax a bit. Even more humorous are those written in horrible English. Well they are mostly in the context of a block of gibberish text. Here's one from a actual e-mail and I just have to laugh and wonder who wrote it.
Last, but not least are the stock tips. I wonder what the heck the spammer gets out of it? I can't say I know, but I am sure its a scam somehow. I mean its strange and just strikes me as odd. I mean it is complete bullshit and any person wit a ounce of common sense should be able to see this. Below is one I found in my spam folder and just for kicks I looked up the symbol mentioned. Apparently, belongs to a real company called "American TonerServ Corp". Okay, so its real, but I'd love to know where the pay off of for the spammer is.
I the long run we all suffer from spam. Good spam filters are worth the weight in gold. Considering they have no weight, since its software. Either way its the reality and e-mail is a victim of its own success. I know its not like me to take cheap shots at stuff but spam is perfect for it.

Dear Sonny,
I thought you'd like to see some pictures of me blowing a horse. I'm gonna die soon and have lost all morality.
