I was digging through my inbox this morning and came across some spam. I usually just ignore spam, but every once in a while I'll open them up searching for a way to get off their lists (in vain). I realize I'm trusting them to remove me; I'd never really know. Anyway, I opened up it up and laughed at how inept and useless spam has become. Here is the plain-text header followed by the message:

What amazes me is that there is not a way to buy this product, or even to throw your money way. There are not even any fake businesses or identity theft attempts that I can discern. Nothing. No emails. No links. What a complete waste of time and resources for everyone. I'd at least expect proper spam to include links to pop-ups, spyware, or something. Spam has let me down.

I left the spammer's 'email' intact so that when their bots come crawling they'll be greeted by familiar faces.
