I was going through my emails this morning and accidentally sent one to my spam folder, so I clicked over to fish it out. When I was in there retrieving it, I discovered that amongst the usual missives offering to relieve me of my money and to set me up with all of my town’s hot singles and random other assorted spamwiches, was one that stood out.
[Also included within: An email that started off "Charles, here's the latest in men's big and tall clothing..." I don't know who Charles is, but I hope he didn't get an email that started off "Jen, here's the latest in perimenopause news..." Poor Charles' eyes might never be the same.]
The subject line was: Discover the latest in forklifts. Now, you’re probably thinking that this is some sort of euphemism. I was dubious too, but I couldn’t think of a single way that someone could take forklifts and make them nasty, so I decided to take a look.
See? Totally innocuous, unless there’s some warehouse machinery porn I’m not aware of. (I’ll NOT be Googling that one to find out. You’re on your own on that one.)
As it happens, I don’t have any forklift needs. Believe me, I’d like to, just so that I could get my questions answered and start comparing prices.
And how much fun would it be to drive one?
Do me a favor, would you, please? Click over to your spam folder and tell me what’s in there today.

Because I’m in D’s company server, I get all kinds of tech/marketing/IT offers.
However, his company does use forklifts, so when you come visit me, I can totally hook you up with the opportunity to drive one…
Ugh. It seems to me the spam has gotten WORSE lately. WHY???
My spam folder is reallyuninteresting. I do have a few on home improvement however, including one asking me how important it is to prescreen your siding contractor?
And interestingly enough, a Living Social deal for a year’s subscription to Cooking with Paula Deen. I get a number of Living Social emails daily, so kudos to spam filter for catching that one.
The crews we have working out here can make anything nasty, even a forklift. I admit, the things they say they can do with caulk always make me laugh.
In my spam folder are many emails from Tim Kaine, and one apiece from Al Gore, Jim Webb, and Nancy Pelosi. There must be an election coming up, eh?
You know I work in a cemetery. I am dying to operate all the big machinery the maintenance guys use. Just have to work up a little courage and ask, I guess. Jenny
It took me a while to find the spam folder, and there is absolutely nothing interesting in it. Weirdly, a lot of it is the same stuff that makes it into my inbox –I wonder why some of it goes to spam, and some doesn’t? Apparently I’m getting twice as much junk email as I thought I was.
We could use a forklift here. Although first on the list is a Bobcat, and then we’d probably just get a forklift attachment. This would be after we win the lottery we don’t play.
Embarqmail is so crappy, I don’t even think I have a spam folder. My gmail spam folder had 3 items that I wouldn’t even necessarily think of as spam: two from twitter and one from google+. It’s kind of funny that gmail identifies emails from google+ as spam.
Giggling uncontrollably here over the concept of warehouse machinery p@rn — and no, I didn’t google it!
The only thing in my junk mail folder today is another e-mail from the AARP. It appears to have arrived Sunday morning. Sheesh.
I emptied my spam folder this morning, but of course it has already started filling up again! Here is the title of an email from Ebay (which I have never used) “we are going to file a charge against you”?? for not using them? I am afraid to open it as it smacks of virus-luring .
Mac mail = no spam.
Of course, lately, with the new Cloud, Mac mail sometimes = NO MAIL.
Not good!
I have a folder called Predictive Spam which is empty…
Huh. Well apparently Google has taken to thinking that much of my garden emails are spam. I really must remember to check this more often. And to order my garlic this week.
