Death is Sweet
Well, it can be. Swedish candy maker Roland Ohisson was buried in a chocolate coffin.
And no, that's not him lying in his coffin, but you can buy some similar.

Amazing in Yellow Trousers
Here's what just hit my spam folder:
And here's the text of the message with the URL removed:
amazing lady!
for plain-lookin man!
hello I gave a promise you that I will transfer to you my photos.(URL removed) Excuse me possibly i am not wrong. But I met you at mall. You not forget the woman in yellow trousers. bye

The source of the mail shows it came from elbe.nexen.net in France. Looking at websites hosted there, they all seem to be sites that do nothing else but try to scam.
Of course, I didn't reply, but if I COULD speak to the "amazing lady!" I'd say this.
Hello, amazing lady,
It looks like you sent your spam/scam to every "mikein" on the 'net, so I'm sorta thinking it's not all that personal. First of all, calling me - and all the other Mikes - "plain-lookin man" doesn't seem like that would be the way to win friends. I'll admit I'm a little plain-lookin, but I'm sure at least a few of the other Mikes are fairly handsome men. There are probably some that are even more plain than me, bless their hearts.
No, you didn't meet me at the mall. The one here in town has been closed for over a decade and it's been nearly that long since I went to one in Amarillo, so I don't remember a woman in yellow trousers who promised to transfer her photos. I'm sure I would remember that, dontcha think?
Amazing lady? Nah, I don't think so. I'm sure you're some scammin' Frenchie S.O.B. Even if you ARE a woman, there's no way you're amazing. Please don't flatter yourself.
