Every few months, the Washington Post's Style Invitational runs a contest that generates some wonderful entries. It has happened again. In
this contest, they "asked you to come up with Subject lines guaranteed to cause a person to delete an e-mail, unread." For example:
- Teach your pet monkey to yodel
- An important message for you from Lyndon LaRouche's nephew.
- First time ever, the 1936 Republican Convention on CD!
- Please help me check my computer: Is this attachment a virus?
(The two entries that mention colorectal cancer neckties refer to the prize for this contest as described in
the contest announcement some weeks earlier.)
