The Delights of SPAM, SPAM, SPAM, SPAM: An email from Doris, perhaps containing a courtesy virus or some other form of digital nastiness. Whatever it was, it managed to pass through my spam filter to raise a funny-but-also-a-little-sad-sort-of smile.

Doris is my new friend. I deleted her mail without operning it of course. Even so, I wonder who the sender was and what he or she looked like and what he or she really want from me, and above all, what they want for themselves.

The same day I got another spam mail with the title: Solve Your Male Problems with IT. The mind boggles.
