Supply substantial spicery to your existence!

Yet another spam title that I like.

I received an email under a different title, telling me that the Freemason society has chosen to give me a grant of 2.5 million dollars, to advance the “continuous freedom of man and to enhance mans living conditions.”

Well, on the off chance (probability within epsilon of zero) that the grant is legitimate, I guarantee that the money will be used to enhance at least one man’s living conditions, and for the continuous freedom of a particular man. I’d see to it that the improved living conditions and freedom emanated outward to others in an ever-widening circle of personal and economic relationships. Same as my salary and any other resources that come my way. I don’t tend to join things (the name Error 404 reflects my level of attendance at non-paid functions) so I will probably pass on the membership offer. Unless you guys pay - but if I have 2.5 million dollars handy, I probably won’t show up for money either.

I have a choice about spam: I can be annoyed or I can be amused. The second doesn’t burn my meds. But if an opportunity to subject a spammer or an email scammer (seriously, the “Freemanson grant” email is just a variation on the Nigerian Letter scam, and millions of people have received a copy) to legal action comes my way, amusement and mercy are two very different things.
