Sometimes it's...um, hard to tell. Especially with spam, such as
this one from today's shipment:
=============
Turn your life into a holiday with Viagra Pro
Your woman will be stroked dumb by your instrument Soft Viagra.
=============
(It also strikes me--or is that strokes me?--that "Soft Viagra" isn't
the best marketing ploy.)
