Hi,
All of you must have been victims of chain letters from your friends and complete strangers that ask you to forward them on to others lest something bad might happen to you. Some are touching, some blackmail you, and some are funny. Here is a forward that I got from a friend of mine sometime back and I found it very funny and very indicative of what people go through. Most of you might have seen it already but please bear with me. It is for those less blessed souls who haven't.
"I suffer from the guilt of not forwarding 50 billion
_ chain letters sent to me by people who
actually believe that if you send them on, a poor 6
year-old girl in Arkansas with a boob on her
forehead will be able to raise enough money to have
it removed before her redneck parents sell her off to
a travelling freak show.
Do you honestly believe that Bill Gates is going to
give you, and everyone to whom you send "his" email,
$1000? How stupid are we? "Ooooh, look here! If I
scroll down this page and make a wish, I'll get to
have sex with every good looking model in the
magazine!" What a bunch of bullshit.
Maybe the 'evil chain letter leprechauns' will come
into my house and sodomize me in my sleep for not
continuing a chain that was started by Peter in 5 AD
and brought to the USA by midget pilgrims on the
Mayflower. _ them.
If you're going to forward something, at least send
me something mildly amusing. I've seen all the "send
this to 10 of your closest friends, and this poor,
wretched excuse for a human being will somehow
receive a nickel from some omniscient being" forwards
about 90 times.
I don't _ care. Show a little intelligence and
think about what you're actually contributing to by
sending out these forwards.Chances are, it's your own
unpopularity.
The point being? If you get some chain letter that's
threatening to leave you impotent or luckless for the
rest of your life, delete it. If it's funny, send it
on. Don't piss people off by making them feel guilty
about a leper in Botswana with no teeth who has been
tied to a dead elephant for 27 years and whose only
salvation is the 5 cents per letter he'll receive if
you forward this email.
Oh, by the way all you idiots out there...
NO COMPANY HAS ANY WAY OF TRACKING E-MAIL OUTSIDE
THEIR SYSTEM - NO NOT EVEN MICROSOFT!!! THERE
IS NO SUCH TECHNOLOGY YET!!!!!! AND IF THERE WERE,
IT WOULD PROBABLY BE AGAINST THE LAW TO TRACK IT FOR
PRIVACY MATTERS.
Now copy this and forward it as a mail to everyone you know within the
next 5 mins. Otherwise, tomorrow morning your underwear will turn carnivorous and consume your genitals."
