I guess it’s a feature of the genre, or would be were spam a genre rather than a plague. But I just received one that pushed the envelope to new levels of illogicality, starting with the mail’s subject:

Wish you had three hands you could wear a watch on?

Erm, no. I currently use my mobile phone to tell the time, but when I did wear a watch I found that one was easily enough. Two would be overkill. Three would be… disturbing. The mail then continues, with the following body:

Any hottie will be yours when she sees a Submariner SS watch on your wrist.

Especially when she sees that you’re wearing three Submariner SS watches… and realises you’re a three-armed mutant! You’d be so in then.

Or perhaps not.
