This must be my luck day! I won about five different lotteries over the weekend. It's great cause I didn't even have to enter any of them. That means I didn't spend $1 on a ticket so it's all profit, baby.

I get confirmation trash in my inbox every day - it's terrible if you are away for a few days - I remember I had 58 emails when I came back from my holidays of which over half was junk.
I have won the British, Irish, and Ugandan lotteries this week, and been made an exclusive offer to help a Nigerian diplomat escape to his homeland. Wow am I important.
I used to get calls from telemarkets, tons of emails, garbage in my mailbox, even stuff left on my door knob. But then I solved all of my problems...
If you want to avoid spam all you have to do is:
1. Go to your local fedex or ups store and buy the biggest box you can find.
2. Order and prepay for a fedex/ups pick-up service at your residence.
3. Address the box to Atka, Alaska (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=e...&t=k&z=15&om=1) and leave it by your doorstep.
4. Get in the box.
5. Wait.
I'm sure you'll still get phone calls and spam, but good luck checking.
I've been getting a lot of email lately asking me to help someone from Nigeria export $50 million. Occasionally someone will offer me a job letting them use my bank account. That one is pretty rare, so when I do get one, I send a note back from a throwaway email address, tell them I'm happy to accept the job, then ask them to start mailing me the checks ... to the FBI's address.
Lucky you John, I only get emails telling me my man parts are too small.. But they do offer a solution, So that's nice. I just have to wait until i get my money from the king of Nigeria and I'll be able to buy some pills.
I don't bother checking my junk folder, but I just had a look and most of the emails are about OEM software.
However, any mail that comes through my door and contains a pre-paid envelope, I send it back to them. 1) It costs them money, 2) See if they like junk mail.
