I just got this in an e-mail and thought I'd share it with you ...

----


Dear Friends,


At this time of year, I want to thank all of you who have taken the time and trouble to send me your chain letters over the past 12 months. Thank you for making me feel safe, secure, blessed, and wealthy.

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 drink anything out of a can because I will get sick from the rat feces and urine that could be on the can.

~ 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 will drug me with a perfume sample and rob me.

~ I no longer receive packages from UPS or FedEx since they are actually Al Qaeda in disguise.

~ I no longer shop at Target since they are French and don't support our American troops or the Salvation Army.

~ 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 have any sneakers - but that will change once I receive my free replacement pair from Nike.

~ I no longer buy expensive cookies from Neiman Marcus since I now have their recipe.

~ I no longer worry about my soul because I have 363,214 angels looking out for me and St Theresa's novena has granted my every wish.

~ 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. (Although I don't remember that in the Bible.)

~ I no longer have any savings because I gave it to a sick girl who is about to die in the hospital (for the 1,287,258th time).

~ I no longer have any money at all, but that will change once I receive the $15,000 that Microsoft and AOL are sending me for participating in their special e-mail program.

Yes, I want to thank all of you soooooooo 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 70 minutes, a large dove with diarrhea will land on your head at 5:00 PM (EST) this afternoon and the fleas from 12 camels will infest your back, causing you to grow a hairy hump. 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!

Honest!

:grin:

Complete surrender should not just come at moments in which one faces overwhelming odds, but in the calm when it seems one is personally in complete control of one's life.

wait Neiman Marcus sells cookies? *goes to check inbox for secret recipe*

Quick - what time is it now? I don't think I'm going to make that deadline - oh well, being bald does have it's advantages!

So, DB, just how many of your friends did you forward this to?
