Last Thursday, a co-worker announced over the tops of the cubes, "I get the most boring spam ever!" With much vehemence.

Since I was the only one there in at least a 4-cube radius, I wandered over.

He had his personal webmail open, and was going through and deleting vast numbers of messages. "Here's one for donuts," he complained. "Another one! One for a Chevy Tahoe! Mattress offers!" Delete, delete. "J. C. Penney!"

I said, "Dr. Seuss? Insurance? You're right. Very very boring."

He shook his head. "I must not go to the really exciting websites."

"Listen, if you want, I can show you some... I get porn spam all the freakin' time."

He looked up at me. "Nah. I'm too old for that shit."

"But you had to think about it, didn't you?" I smiled back.

Waitwaitwait....are you telling me that there's an actual age-limit for exciting spam? Or, rather, for receiving porn spam? I had no idea anyone outgrew that!

There is an age limit, but it works in reverse.

The longer you've been on the internets, the more likely you are to have the "good" spam.
