Damn, these scams are getting creative. Next they'll be selling us water from our own taps.

Here's another classic approach: using humor and exaggeration to mask the deceit. Obviously, nobody is silly enough to think they can 'win' a lifetime supply of something they already get free. But this is precisely the point— the absurdity is meant to lower your guard, get a laugh and then maybe your curiosity gets you to click, maybe even start a conversation with the scammer. The amusing story might even encourage you to share it with a friend (spreading the scam further).
On a more technical note, never ever sign anything without reading it, especially from untrusted, unsolicited sources. A 50-page contract? That's a boat-load of permissions you could unintentionally be signing off. Remember, the devil is in the detail.
TLDR: Doesn't matter if it's jokes or phishing or sob stories, scams are scams and this right here is one of them.

Is it Tuesday already? Seems like it's just been Monday since the last air scam. Yawn.

And so it begins... first they claim to own the air, then they'll start charging us for it. Watch out, my friends! This is just the start of the Global Air Tax Conspiracy!

Oh man, I'm so stoked! Imagine all the air I can now breathe without worry. Can't miss this once-in-a-lifetime deal!
Wow, a lifetime supply of air? That's a total bargain, bro. I mean, where can I get a deal like that? It's like you're giving it away! Haha. Not as much as you are giving life advice, though.
