I would like to thank all of you for all of the lead warnings. I will add it
to all of the wonderful forwarded emails I have recieved throughout the
year.
THANKS SO MUCH
As the holidays approach, my heartfelt appreciation goes out to all of you
who have taken the time and trouble to send me "forwarded e-mail" over the
past 12 months.
Thank you for making me feel safe, secure, blessed, wealthy and guilty for
not further forwarding some of the e-mails in a timely fashion.
Extra thanks to whoever sent me the one about rat poop in the glue on
envelopes 'cause I now have to go get a wet towel every time I need to seal
an envelope. Also, I scrub the top of every can I open for the same reason.
Because of your concern I no longer drink Coca Cola because it can remove
toilet stains.
I no longer drink Pepsi or Dr Pepper since the people who make these
products are atheists who refuse to put "Under God" on their cans.
I no longer use Saran wrap in the microwave because it causes cancer.
I no longer check the coin return on pay phones because I could be pricked
with a needle infected with AIDS.
I no longer use cancer-causing deodorants even though I smell like a water
buffalo on a hot day.
I no longer go to shopping malls because someone might drug me with a
perfume sample and rob me.
I no longer receive packages from nor send packages by UPS or FedEx since
they are actually Al Qaeda in disguise.
I no longer answer the phone because someone will ask me to dial a number
for which I will get a phone bill with calls to Jamaica, Uganda, Singapore,
and Uzbekistan.
I no longer eat KFC because their "chickens" are actually horrible mutant
freaks with no eyes or feathers.
I no longer have any sneakers -- but that will change once I receive my
free replacement pair from Nike.
I no longer worry about my soul because at last count I have 363,214 angels
looking out for me.
Thanks to you, I have learned that God only answers my prayers if I forward
an e-mail to seven of my friends and make a wish within five minutes.
I no longer have any savings because I gave it to a sick girl who is about
to die in the hospital (for the 1,387,258th time)
I no longer have any money at all - but that will change once I receive the
$15,000 that Bill Gates at Microsoft and AOL are sending me for
participating in their special e-mail program and the 20 million pounds in
sterling that I will receive from the family of the Nigerian oil executive
who is willing to share it with me.
Yes, I want to thank you so much for looking out for me that I will now
return the favor!
If you don't send this e-mail to at least 144,000 people in the next 5
minutes, a large pigeon with a wicked case of diarrhea will land on your
head at 5:00 PM (EST) this evening. I know this will occur because it
actually happened to a friend of my next-door neighbor's ex-mother-in-law's
second husband's cousin's beautician's baby's daddy.
