[AT] Spam, farming and vegetables, can you believe it?

[Grant Brians]

As I was reading the last several days of email and especially the ATIS 
posts, I came to an interesting realization. Interspersed between the mail I 
was interested in was lots of spam, largely for sexual performance 
treatments or miracle stocks. I then noted yet another couple of the spam 
that had Rutabaga in the title. Now I raise Rutabagas, in fact I am the only 
commercial grower of Rutabagas in my county and the largest grower or second 
largest grower of them in my part of California. As a result I glanced a 
second time at the title of these messages that included Rutabaga and then I 
started wondering about this. Are Rutabagas associated with sexual 
performance in some segment of the population I am unaware of? Can I use 
this apparent connection to boost my sales of Rutabagas and maybe the price 
too - as, obviously sexual performance enhancement makes a LOT of money for 
someone!!!!
    Or maybe I am taking this the wrong way and all I need to do is start 
selling Rutabagas on my new website and my farm will instantly become a 
GOLDMINE as promised in the stock spam messages! Wow, I am already seeing 
the scenario! I can plant field after field of my magic Rutabagas and then I 
will be able to buy some of our overpriced farmland around here with the 
profits! Wow, I will be able to outbid the real estate speculators for that 
class 1 land around town! That's it! I can sell the Rutabagas AND open a 
Rutabaga GOLDMINE!!!! I can see it already........ Oh darn, I just 
remembered that SPAM is only chopped and reconstituted waste from the 
slaughter process of pork/ham and that spam in the emailbox is just a 
useless waste of bandwidth. GRRRRR and here I had this whole farming 
Rutabagas profit thing figured out.
     SIGH. Oh well, tomorrow I go back to real world farming and my day 
starts at 4:30AM as always.
