Sometimes friends have to tell you things you might not like to hear,
but need to. If you are one of those people who like to forward every
e-mail you get, please repeat the following ...
1) I will NOT get bad luck, lose my friends, or lose my mailing lists
if I DON'T forward an e-mail!
2) I will NOT hear any music or see a taco dog, if I do forward an e-mail.
3) Bill Gates is NOT going to send me money. Victoria Secret doesn't
know anything about a gift certificate they're supposed to send me.
4) Ford will NOT give me a 50% discount even if I forward my e-mail
to more than 50 people!
5) 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.
6) I will NEVER see a pop-up window if I forward an e-mail! (If you
do, you have a virus or trojan.)
7) 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!
8) 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, or GET-WELL CARDS!
9) 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.
10) There will be NO cool dancing, singing, waving, colorful flowers,
characters, or program that I will receive immediately after I
forward an e-mail. NONE, ZIP, ZERO, NADA!!
11) The American Red Cross will NOT donate 50 cents to certain
individuals dying of some never-heard- of disease for every e-mail
address I send this to. The American Red Cross RECEIVES donations.
12) And finally, I WILL NOT let others guilt me into forwarding at
email by telling me if I don't I am not their friend or that I'm a bad person.
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 gain twenty pounds in the next three months! (No, not really! If
you believe that last statement, go back and read this message again!)
