A friend of mine noticed that an envelope had been slid under his apartment door yesterday, containing a hand-written note:

Hi! Every time I see you I think how beautiful and georgious you are and want to get to know you better. Don’t get me wrong, I just want to be your friend. If you are interested, I am your neighbor. My name is Travis and my phone number is [removed to protect the not-so-innocent]. Call me!

My friend is most decidedly heterosexual, and says that he “could not shred the thing fast enough!” 🙂

My first thought, on the other hand, was that the message was very generic and could have equally well been sent to anyone — the hallmark of spam. I imagined someone desperate writing these out in mass quantities and papering the entire building with them, floor by floor, relying on the statistical likelihood that someone would bite… I really should stay away from my spam folder. 🙂
