Sometimes Spam Can Be Wonderful

Lately I’ve been getting a lot of spam on another website I own . Most of it is the “BUY VIAGRA CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP U R GONNA MAKE SEXY WITH NEW” kind of garbage or the “great post, i think to converse about your view with reply” flattery but a new (to me) type of spam has emerged:

Terrible Jokes!

I guess by offering a terrible joke, I may think “How relevant and delicious!” and approve the comment. Not so much. But anyway, I thought I’d share some of them with you:

What do you call a dumb balloon? An air head.

Did you hear about the farmer who was found guilty of stealing rotten fruit? He was judged by his pears.

What would you get if you put a light bulb in a suit of armor? A knightlight.

Why do hurricanes travel so fast? If they traveled slowly we would have to call them slow-i-canes. (My personal favourite)

Which side of a dog has the most hair? The out side.

I always knew spammers were lame, but THIS lame?

These wonderful, wonderful jokes have made me beg the question:

What is the best spam you have ever received?

Update 11.10.09: They keep coming in. Here’s some more delightful spam jokes.

Where does satisfaction come from? A satisfactory.

What did the cannibal do when he saw an “All you can eat” restaurant? He had two waiters and a busboy.

Why wouldn’t the bike move very fast?? It was too tired!!

What did one cloned sheep say to the other? I am ewe.

What did one ocean say to the other ocean? Nothing, they just waved.

Why did the pig cross the road? Because he was a road hog.

What happens when a ghost haunts a theater? The actors get stage fright.

What did the big chimney say to the small chimney? You’re too young to be smoking.

Why are Bankers good bike riders?? They are good at keeping their balance!!

I get more of this every day. From the same IP address, mind you, so it’s one hilarious spammer. I could ban the IP, but this is too much fun.

I got one that was signed “Jesus” once, and I can't remember exactly, but it had some silly religious joke.

I would love to see some more joke spam! I'm always getting the viagra trash and spam from different countries with weird languages. lol

Haha, those jokes are awful but a couple did get a smile from me!

I don't really get very interesting spam comments (poor me, eh?), but recently I've been getting some awful ones. The spammer fills out their name and comment with a load of question marks… I seem to be getting these comments around 30 times per day, and it's a pain to sit there and delete them all.

Oh, and, while I'm here… What happened to the boy who stole tippex? He got sent to a youth correction center!

I'll get my coat. :-p
