Ok, call me ignorant, but I don't understand how 'ham' and 'spam' match.
Rhyme, yes; match, no.  Is this some functionality of the slashes around
the words that means 'rhyming is a match'?  Doing a search for "ham"
doesn't result in any "spam" matches here...

Or maybe this is something to do with the fact that Americans can't
spell? <wink>
