So you've been getting those spam, too?
You know how spam goes in cycles? One month it's Rolexes, one month it's Nigerian 419, one month it's longer-harder-stronger. Well for the last month I've been getting them suggesting I can impress my lady friends with the volume of my ... umm ... output.
I got so many of them, I asked my wife if that was something that women were really looking for in a man. She shuddered. Visibly. Then said, "Uhh ... no."
[edit] Oops, what was I thinking.

Note/nit.
SPAM is a tasty (MOO) tinned meat.
Spam is UCE.
Be nice to Hormel Foods; they haven't sued anyone, just asked that the above distinction be made clear.

Never base a choice of edibles on a Brit's recommendation.

Er, that's the Scotts.
Of course, the Brits love their beer warm and their sheep boild in mint sauce, so they have their own issues.

Boiled lamb?
Roasted, maybe.
And mint sauce is delicious.

They CAN'T sue.
Spam in reference to unwanted email is already a generic term. Trademark law stops providing you with protection once a term is generic.
OK, to be more precise, they can sue but they'd lose. And be laughed at.
Cheers,
