Every day, my junk e-mail account gets at least half a dozen spam emails, all from the same group of organizations. The subjects are almost invariably the following:
- Find Christian Singles in your area now
- Great Work from home opportunities available
- Free trial of [insert whatever Oprah currently claims is the secret to great health and good looks]
Let’s get this clear. I am a seminarian. I have no interest in meeting singles in my area or any area. I have no time for a job, and even if I did, I wouldn’t be allowed to have one. And finally, I don’t care what Oprah thinks is the secret to a fabulous life. I couldn’t afford it anyway.
So to you spammers out there, if you’re looking to grab me, try offering me discount clerical attire, or free spiritual books. Thanks.
