(My response to chain e-mails)
Please refrain from thinking that
I am NOT your friend if I DO NOT send back a forward that you have sent to
me. Friends were friends before email and friends will remain friends after
email.
NOW REPEAT THE FOLLOWING WITH ME .
. .
"I will NOT get bad luck, lose my
friends, or lose my mailing lists if I DON'T forward an email! I will NOT
hear any music or see a taco dog, if I DO forward an e-mail.
Bill Gates is NOT going to send me
money, Victoria's Secret doesn't know anything about a gift certificate they're
supposed to send me, and Ford will not give me a 50% discount even if I forward
my e-mail to more than 50 people!
I will NEVER receive gift certificates,
coupons, or freebies from Coca Cola, Cracker Barrel, Old Navy, or anyone
else if I send an e-mail to 10 people. I will NEVER see a pop-up window if
I forward an e-mail . . . NEVER!
My phone will not MYSTERIOUSLY ring
after I forward an e-mail. There is NO SUCH THING as an e-mail tracking program,
and I am not STUPID enough to think that someone will send me $100 for forwarding
an e-mail to 10 or more people!
There is no kid with cancer through
the Make-a-Wish program in England collecting anything! He did when he was
7 years old. He is now cancer-free and 35 years old and DOESN'T WANT ANY
MORE POST CARDS, CALLING CARDS, or GET-WELL CARDS.
The government does not have a bill
in Congress called 901B (or whatever they named it this week) that, if passed,
will enable them to charge us 5 cents for every e-mail we send.
There will be NO cool dancing, singing,
waving, colorful flowers, characters, or program that I will receive immediately
after forwarding an e-mail.
The American Red Cross will NOT donate
50 cents to a certain individual dying of some disease for every e-mail address
you send this to. The American Red Cross RECEIVES donations.
And finally, I WILL NOT let others
guilt me into sending things by telling me I am not their friend or that
I don't believe in God. If God wants to send me a message, I believe the
bushes in my yard will burn before He picks up a PC to pass it on!"
Now, repeat this to yourself until
you have it memorized, and send it along to at least 5 of your friends before
the next full moon or you will surely be constipated for the next three months
and all of your hair will fall out!
