Some large percentage never make it to an inbox, and another large portion is immediately discarded. But if even the tiniest fraction is viewed, and if even the tiniest fraction of <em>that</em> tiniest fraction gets a response, the spammer has made a return on his investment. It's truly a scourge. I'm not sure what the figures are, but I believe a majority of the e-mail packets zipping around the Internet are spam.

I heard another one yesterday - two guys were talking about an old car and one asks the other how it looked. His reply "It was a 20 footer" The other guy looks confused - so he explains "It looks good from 20 feet away." Classic. Shovel-Worthy – LOVE IT.

I'm going to adopt that one round here. As for spammers, I am so very sick of them. Yet SOMEONE must respond, no?, because otherwise why keep sending them? But Who On Earth would respond to such junk? It's keeping me up at night...please address. And don't talk to me about too busy to keep up with friends. That is my life. That is my kids' schooling for the year. Pray we finish in time. I like shovel-worthy. I’m going to adopt that one round here. As for spammers, I am so very sick of them.
