419 spammers definitely produce humorous spams, albeit unintentionally.  
Variations of this one come in daily:

>My name is Shadak Shari, a merchant in Dubai, in the U.A.E. I have been 
>diagnosed with Esophageal cancer .It has defiled all forms of medical 
>treatment, and right now I have only about a few months to live, according to 
>medical experts.
  -or-
>Well, I lost all my family members and was seriously injured as a result of 
>the TSUNAMI and currently hospitalised in Dubai, U.A.E. My illness has defiled 
>all form of medical treatment and I only have about a few months to live 
>according to medical report.

Dubai must be overflowing with millionaires whose illness has "defiled" 
treatment.  In two years nobody has corrected this typo in the boilerplate 
letter!

Subject: OT: Do spammers have a sense of humor?



Today I got your typical Nigerian spam. This one was
different, though; it read:

"I am Mrs Melissa Pointer the wife of Mr Harry Pointer, my husband"

"Mr Harry Pointer" ?? LOL It seems spammers have a sense
of humor, after all. :)
