I got the following in my email today, and since I can't reach everyone in the VE by email, i thought I'd post it here. It is the best advice I have heard in a LONG time.NOW EVERYONE SAY IT WITH ME:
"I won't get bad luck, lose my friends, lose my mailing lists, hear any music, or see a cool pop up screen if I don't forward this.
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 HAVE forwarded my e-mail to more than 50 people.
I will NEVER receive gift certificates, coupons or freebies from Coca Cola, Cracker
Barrel, or Old Navy if I send this to 10 people who don't know who I am anyway.
I will NEVER see a pop up window if I forward this....NEVER!!!!
My phone will not MYSTERIOUSLY ring after I forward this.
There is NO SUCH THING as an Email tracker, and I am not GULLIBLE enough to think that someone will send me $100 for forwarding this 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 yrs old, but he is now cancer free and 35 years old and
DOESN'T WANT ANY MORE POSTCARDS, CALLING CARDS OR GET WELL CARDS!
The government does not have a bill in Congress called 601P (or whatever they named it this week) that if passed will enable them to charge us 5 cents for every sent e-mail.
There will be NO cool dancing, singing, waving, colorful flower, character, or program I will receive immediately after I forward this. People are just trying to talk me into doing it to make me look like a fool.
I will not see a cartoon character run across the screen if I forward this to 5 people.
The American Red Cross will not donate 50 cents to a certain individual dying of some
never heard of disease for every email address I send this to. The American Red Cross RECEIVES donations; they don't donate.
And finally, I WILL NOT let others guilt me into sending things on to my friends for fear
they will think I am not their friend...or by telling me I have no conscience or don't
believe in GOD.�
Now, repeat this 4 times to yourself until you've memorized it, and then send it along to at least 5 of your friends before the next full moon, or you will be constipated for the next 3 months.
