I have just received an email from Hillel.

Hillel.

I do not mean Hillel as in the Foundation for Jewish Campus Life. No, a person named Hillel, who seems to be lacking a surname, has emailed me.

I am excited. It seems that the great and famous rabbi Hillel, who has been dead for approximately two thousand years, has sent me a letter.

Of course, I don't think the late teacher approves of me very much. The subject line of his email reads, "Why let people know about your intimate life?"

...Also, why has Rabbi Hillel's letter been placed automatically in my spam filter?

I'm going to laugh if it's a chain letter. :-D

Just spam. With some regret, I deleted it. Sure, it would have been funny to know what the letter said, but not funny enough to deal with whatever poisonous contents are in junk email these days.

Dude. Now that's classy spam. Wait! Spam isn't kosher! Hillel's standards may have slipped over the centuries.

Ignore Hillel. We all love a good story.

In the famous words of Lex (Manginah)...Spam isn't kosher at all, can't eat spam, think about the Torah now would that be holy, no! Spam isn't kosher at all, can't eat spam.

I once got porn from Augustine. Presumably it was from before his conversion.

Does the spam by any chance go on to say "if I am only for myself, then what am I?"

Possibly your spam filter follows Bet Shammai.

Maybe it's some kind of soy spam substitute?

Darn you, you got that song in my head.

[rymenhild.livejournal.com]

Clearly!

I am embarrassed to announce that I had to google "W. Gunther Plaut" to make sense of this entry.

After I did, I got the joke.

It's a pity I don't really have very many stories about my intimate life.

[rymenhild.livejournal.com]

Perhaps it is a Bet Shammai spam filter. It's quite successful, really, and very concerned with the letter of the spam.

[a-trick-mind.livejournal.com]

LOL I guess I was a little too obscure.
