Salman Khan, Spam, Potty Training & Mother Teresa

Pick the odd one out.Â Want a clue? Click on the image below.

Was clearling my spam folder and came across spam from ‘Salman Khan’…i had to hand it to the spammer…he had earned an ‘open’ for sheer creativity…while the mail was loading i was curious about the kind of contextual ads that might get thrown up, and if any would correspond to the brands he endorses…
When the page loaded i laughed so hard, it took me a minute to get my breath back… goes to show that contextual targeting is still a WIP…

PS - No offence to Mother Teresa, i’m still wondering what word the SEM targeted his ad on…Salman Khan? Pheronomes?

Mick, from Dublin, appeared on “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire” and towards the end of the program had already won 500,000 pounds.

You’ve done very well so far,” said Chris Tarrant, the show’s presenter, “but for a million pounds you’ve only got one lifeline left – phone a friend! Everything is riding on this question……will you go for it?”

“Sure,” said Mick. “I’ll have a go!”

“Which of the following birds does NOT build its own nest?
A: Sparrow
B: Thrush
C: Magpie
D: Cuckoo ?”
“I haven’t got a clue,” said Mick, “so I’ll use me last lifeline and phone me friend Paddy back home in Dublin“.

Mick called up his mate, and told him the circumstances and repeated the question to him.

“Fookin hell, Mick!” cried Paddy. “Dat’s simple……it’s a cuckoo.”
“Are you sure?”
“I’m fookin sure.”
Mick hung up the phone and told Chris, “I’ll go wit Cuckoo as me answer.”

“Is that your final answer?” asked Chris “Dat it is, Sir.”

There was a long, long pause, then the presenter screamed, Cuckoo is the correct answer! Mick, you’ve won 1 million pounds!”

The next night, Mick invited Paddy to their local pub to buy him a drink.

“Tell me, Paddy? How in Heaven’s name did you know it was da Cuckoo dat doesn’t build it’s own nest? I mean you know fook-all about birds!”

“For fooks sake!” laughed Paddy. “Everybody knows a cuckoo lives in a Fookin clock…!!!”

A husband walks into the bedroom holding two aspirin and a glass of water.
His wife asks, “What’s that for?” “It’s for your headache.” “I don’t have a headache.”

He replies, “Gotcha!”
