Is it spam if it's not e-mail???

I live in Hawaii, I love SPAM. SPAM and eggs, fried SPAM saiman, even SPAM McGriddle (yes McDonald's offers SPAM in Hawaii).
But when it comes to my computer I refuse to spam. If I get an e-mail that says pass this on to your best friends, I never do. Even when the e-mail says send this back to the person that sent it to you to show how much you care. I delete the message. I can't stand spam in my inbox. But every now and then this brings up a dilemma, what do you do when a really cute story or joke comes across you inbox... I decided to post it here, It's not spam if you voluntarily followed the link to my site.

Here if the contents of an e-mail I got titled "Birds and the Bees"

Little boy goes to his father and asks "Daddy, how was I born?"

The father answers:"Well son, I guess one day you will need to find out anyway! Your Mom and I first got together in a chat room on Yahoo. Then I set up a date via e-mail with your Mom and we met at a cyber-cafe. We sneaked into a secluded room, where your mother agreed to a download from my hard drive. As soon as I was ready to upload, we discovered that neither one of us had used a firewall, and since it was too late to hit the delete button, nine months later a blessed little Pop-Up appeared and said: You've got male


Update: Blissfully unaware of the spam/SPAM spelling and lawsuits, I recent had it pointed out the capitalization means something. I knew my spelling was bad, and my thoughts are sometimes controversial, but I'd never thought I'd be flamed for my capitalization.
