I really enjoyed this spam.  I do wish that people contacting me for actual business purposes were so delightful about it.  Or maybe that I had a need to buy miraculous Chinese PCB's?  Perhaps not that last.

Today someone called on our home phone line and started talking about Sky box warranties expiring.  I was working and I knew that philmophlegm, under whose province television services lie, was unlikely to want an extended warranty, and I also thought there was a good chance it was a con.  So I said 'Sorry, I'm afraid we aren't interested' and rang off.

Almost immediately, that line rang again. I didn't bother picking it up this time, as I was doing more important things ( I'd wandered to the kitchen to make coffee. )

So I was delighted* when I checked the voicemail on that line this evening to receive a very cross voicemail telling me :

- that I am Their Customer** and he has been asked to give me the company's new phone number!
- but that because I am so horribly rude, he will not give me the phone number!
- and in fact, he won't even tell me what company he's calling from!


*no, I really was, I thought it was most amusing.
** actually, he called me Mrs Philmophlegm, which would technically mean that philmophlegm's Mum is actually Their Customer - I don't use pp's surname.

"Being hung as a horse is more than possible. "  (Well, they do say you might as well be hanged for a sheep as for a lamb, why not go the whole hog and be hung as a horse?  )

Also, apparently with an "anticrisis crazy sale" I can " drill ladies better!"  Somehow the words "anticrisis crazy sale" need to be said in a Dutch accent.  I can't say why that is.  But I don't think of the Dutch as doing a lot of drilling.

The defiant cry of "Sex brings too much pleasure to refuse it completely!" seems to be addressed to a different audience to most of the rest of my spam, where frankly, refusing it completely doesn't seem to be an option...

The offer of 'hot demo sunshine' baffled me somewhat.  Surely this spammer cannot really be preparing the launch of Sun 2  (for those times when you need sunshine in the middle of the night?)

Also, I really want to "attend a Univresity Dergee".  It sounds like it would be some sort of vaguely Indian-style celebration, probably with decorated elephants.

ETA: and I had to add this one:

While others are boasting of their Sax adventures, practice it!

It is true that prowess at the saxophone or any other instrument is indeed mostly a matter of practice.   I also appreciated the name and email address of the sender: "Lance Pagan"  : <ambiguity95@trustingodamerica.com>
