She Will Beg For More

I don't know about you, but I keep getting this same e-mail. It promises that if I will buy their product, "She will beg for more." I could ignore this; if it wasn't for the fact that I'm sure they would not be wasting their time on me if they had better things to do.

My problem is with the line, "She will beg for more". Now, for some reason, that doesn't sound right to me. I have had, "mild entreaty", and even, "enthused encouragement". But no begging.

I remember once showering with a young lovely who could definitely be described as a coconspirator, at the least. But again, no begging. Can someone either confirm or deny my suspicions?

In closing, I will state plainly that I myself am not above begging. I would definitely beg, if I thought it would do any good. But, for most men, with the possible exception of Woody Allen, I believe this to be a fruitless course of action.

I see what you mean; the syntax is all wrong. "She will beg for more" is not a complete sentence. Spam-city.

As an ardent spam receiver, I have to admit to laughing my frickin butt off at the OP's message.

+101

But I have to equally admit to surprise...never any begging except perhaps for a small bit of mercy.

And to answer THAT question, none asked, none given.

I would be happy if she begged for anything at all-even another beer.

Just curious how you interpret the sentence....

it could be more = 'bigger' or 'longer' (not time, that is what I think most read)....

Again Sir, If You Please

I would interpret it as meaning, "again". As in Dicken's Oliver Twist, "Please sir, can I have some more?"

I presume this is a spam scam for some kind of Viagra knock off,just go to your doctor and get a prescription for the real thing.

We need a "funniest posts on record" forum somewhere in the archives.

My favorite spam title was "Welcome to Wiener Wonderland" and had as the copy: "Please your partner by being a pleasure machine." It has the same syntax issues that yours did.
And I agree, we don't beg, perhaps the mild entreaty is just about as far as we have to go.

I sense an opportunity for a thread showcasing some of the more memorable spam titles. One that sticks out (no pun) in my memory was "YOUR C*CK SCARING PEOPLE".

Is it just me, or are they all targeted at men? I receive a lot of spam (and I mean a lot), but I can't recall ever receiving even a single one that professed to enhance any female body parts.

I don't even understand this. Are you saying that senior women are more ardently pursued?

Who'd a thunk it?

Look at the demographic stats. The older the group, the fewer men to women as the shorter lifespan takes its toll. An unattached 80YO still in posession of most of his faculties must be a very popular guy.

There you go, Ha: something to look forward to as you age.

My SIL works as a pharmacy tech at a CVS drugstore. She said they fill at least 30 Viagra or Cialis prescriptions during a shift on Friday and Saturday. Never has a woman come in to fill the prescription or pick it up for her husband....so I think one can assume "no begging". She did have one elderly woman come with her husband to get his "Rejoiner" and she rolled her eyes at him behind his back for my SIL to see.
