Things seen, and possibly unseen:

I just got one of my near-daily Trust Account Spam emails on my office account- the usual drek about needing my routing and account numbers to deposit some Very Important Proceeds from a debtor in my part of Colorado (their geography is never very good, either;) - but this time it was the "from" address that got me:

From: Advocate Guru Maharaji

I expected it to say that I wouldn't be compensated for my time or expenses, but that on my deathbed, I would receive higher consciousness.

From a discussion on Facebook about possibly inappropriate student-teacher comments, I received this reply from the only high school teacher (or any former teacher, best as I can tell) that I still keep in touch with:

A student once asked me when I was a "newbe" physics teacher (whilst I was doing a class demo on temperature change at EMHS..way before you were my student).." Is that an oral or anal thermometer" I was using? He was a pretty annoying kid , I must admit. I replied w/o much hesitation..that in his case it didn't make much of a difference. I was not sued and actually won a good deal of respect from the class. I might add that I didn't get any more "wise ass" remarks from that annoying kid.

And the D'Oh! of the day, from a longer list taken from an even longer list than that about things a fan of metaquotes learned over the summer:

Every year in Teton National Park at least one family assumes that “bear spray” works like bug spray. So before going on a hike they line their kids up, and … well, I hear the park’s clinic is very good.

Hope to be back later, possibly even with some original content:)

You know, I actually like to read spam. Sometimes the word combinations almost reach poetry.

Some of that is on purpose; they'll fill the text with whitelist words in hopes of fooling the filters.

There are some interesting choices, though;)
