Truth in Advertising? Today's Spam... 6/17/2010 9:54:00 AM
One of today's spam (indicating I'd won 1.6 million dollars from AOL and the queen of England) was signed thusly:

Someone bought a 900$ showerhead through one of my Amazon links. (Woot!)

Eric They spent an extra 300$ on the "Nickel" finish instead of the "Chrome" finish. I don't think our fancy shower head was more than about a hundred bucks!
Erin It's Jason's father's day gift....Shhhhh....don't ruin the surprise......
