Everyone gets them, those annoying spam messages about how to get better drug$ using an online pharma$y, or the ubiquitous penis enlargement or stamina improvement solicitations. Or the penny stock "investment opportunities". Or by putting Re: in front of the subject to make it look like they are replying to you.
The inventive entrepreneurs who author these missives spend a lot of brain power trying to get me (and you) to actually open the e-mails by writing interesting, relevant subject lines, or by putting random first names in the subjects, hoping to hit your name at some frequency. Occasionally they make it past both the spam filter of my department, and the junk mail filter on Outlook, and I get a chuckle out of the subjects. I also scan my junk mail folder regularly in case something accidentally gets sent that way.
I bring to you today my absolute favorite subject line ever, that appeared today.
Bin Laden State of the Jihad Address Short on Specifics
Isn't that just hysterically funny?
Send me your favorite spam subject lines (please don't forward the actual spam, it will get filtered, just send me an e-mail with the subject in the text box, with "Random Reviews Subject Challenge" in the subject line, so if it does get filtered I can find it), and I'll do a compilation if I get enough.

What do I get?
What do you get? If you send me your favorite Spam subject? How about another post from me? HA!
Oh, the threatening tone. I'll dig through the bin and let you know. I get one piece of spam every 3 minutes on average. I thought that was impressive.
Still looking. Nothing beats yours yet.
