I just saw the headers of a message my spam filter was chucking into the bin[*], with the subject, "inc your penis". Knowing how often spammers mispell w0rds to attempt to evade filters, I found myself wondering, "Do they mean I should ink my penis by getting a tattoo, or that I should incorporate my penis to take advantage of some tax loophole?"

[*] I was running tail -f on the logfile to spot new messages arriving in various folders while doing something in a different window.

It's tax time! Definitely incorporate it. If it's a separate legal entity, how can you possibly be held responsible for its actions?

Aha, that was Spitzer's mistake!

If you incorporate it, be sure to do it in Delaware. Fewer taxes.

I thought of it as "increment", like in 8086 assembler, you know?

   INC    YOURPENIS       ; increment penis  FIXME check for overflow

delete penis;
penis = new Penis(MAX_PENIS_SIZE);


Actually, my first reading was "ink pen(is)", and I thought I could dip it in ink and write with it or something.

There's a guy in Australia who paints with his penis. Really. I saw it on Yahoo news.

One does not incorporate to decrease one's taxes, that's a common myth.

The reason to incorporate is to protect one's private assets from the vagaries of the business world; as a separate legal entity from you, incorporating your penis would for example, prevent someone from siezing your balls should that person sucessfully sue your penis. This does assume that you did not include your balls as your penis's assets, but rather as your personal assets.

Standard disclaimer: IANAL.

Don't be silly. It's spam. It wants you to download your penis from your mail spool to your MUA to incorporate it into your inbox.

Careful. It defaults to -truncate.

I strongly advise you not to go sticking your penis into some random tax loophole you just met.

Maybe it's an entirely misspelled, but innocent, suggestion to ink your pens.
 
Include? Maybe it is feeling left out.

Incapacitate? Maybe it needs bringing down.

Inclose? Tom Allen's website is the definitive place!

Incumbent? OH so many meanings, so many interesting possibilities.

Inculcate? Even a dictionary manages to make double entendres.

For choice I prefer the ink suggestion; it seems your rejected correspondent thinks you may have a ready made ink roller.

Should I behave now?
