I sent an email to my sister this morning asking for some travel advice about a possible trip to San Diego. She lives in a beach town north of there and I knew she would be full of ideas. I checked my mail a few hours later and she had sent a series of replies with blurbs and links about that area. All the new messages in my In Box were from her (or so I thought). So as I finished each message, I clicked "next" to get the next one on the list. It was all good stuff - cool places to stay and some things we might like to do. Finally, I opened the last one and it said:
"If you are in need for information dealing with which way you may foster some more mass for your rod, you've got to see our site."
Huh?!? What? Oh. It's an email with info and a link, but this one's not from my sister. I laughed so loud I had to get up and shut my door. "Foster some more mass for your rod" just cracked me up for some reason.
It doesn't seem quite as funny now. But imagine reading that sentence with its oddly formal choice of words to describe something crude, while fully expecting it to be about things to do in the San Diego area, and imagine the awkward, sudden shifting of mental gears as it becomes clear what has occurred. Yeah, it was damn funny at the time. I laughed myself silly.

I'm quite happy with my rod mass. :)
Well, I laughed out loud too. So you're not the only one. There's this line in LA Story (one of my favorite movies) where Steve Martin's character tells the woman he's trying impress about the "interesting word usements I structure." That's what came to mind when I read about fostering some mass for one's rod.
Wa11z, you seem to be happy with just about every aspect of your life. Arms...rod mass...
Those spammers are getting tricky with their words and sentence structure, aren't they?
Have you noticed a drop in the amount of SPAM you get since that guy in Seattle (I think it was Seattle) got arrested? I have noticed an incredible decrease. Yay!
So did you visit the site? I mean... you know... for informational purposes... :innocent:
:ewink:
I love the wordage. Obviously trying to stay out of the spam filters by avoiding the more succinct terminology. When I read that though, I was in the same mental gear as you. When I read "mass" and "rod" I thought of the sticks they sometimes use to feed the animals at Sea World!
Well, apparently someone knows something I don't, because I've gotten nine viagra emails this morning. Why can't I deal with my problem on my own?
LOL, I get those a lot with my work e-mail, where they make it look like it is coming from my boss.
wa11z - heh, heh.... you said "rod".
twg - I'm glad I'm not the only one. And I loved LA Story. "It was a great lunch and enema, thanks."
kat - yes, I think I'm getting less now.
ll - I don't know where that link has been. No way am I touching it.
magnetbabe - "mass" and "rod" would ordinarily make me think of a physics problem.
trin - but how is your rod mass?
myuptopia - do you save them for blackmail purposes? :-)
Omg, I laughed myself silly just reading this post. What a way to describe it. Poetic spammers. And to think you went into the e-mail looking for advice from your sister. Too funny.
