Email Forwards

I received this email today and laughed out loud! It is too funny not to share. After all, have you ever sent one of these forwards?

SUMMARY OF MY LAST YEAR ON THE COMPUTER
I must send my thanks to whoever sent me the one about poop in the glue on envelopes because I now have to use a wet towel with every envelope that needs sealing.

Also, now I have to scrub the top of every can I open for the same reason.

I no longer have any savings because I gave it to a sick girl (Penny Brown) 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/Microsoft and AOL are sending me for participating in their special e-mail program.

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.

I no longer eat KFC because their chickens are actually horrible mutant freaks with no eyes or feathers.

I no longer use cancer-causing deodorants even though I smell like a water buffalo on a hot day.

Thanks to you, I have learned that my prayers only get answered if I forward an email to seven of my friends and make a wish within five minutes.

Because of your concern I no longer drink Coca Cola because it can remove toilet stains.

I no longer can buy gasoline without taking someone along to watch the car so a serial killer won't crawl in my back seat when I'm pumping gas.

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.

And thanks for letting me know I can't boil a cup of water in the microwave anymore because it will blow up in my face...disfiguring me for life.

I no longer check the coin return on pay phones because I could be pricked with a needle infected with AIDS.

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 buy expensive cookies from Neiman Marcus since I now have their recipe.

Thanks to you, I can't use anyone's toilet but mine because a big brown African spider is lurking under the seat to cause me instant death when it bites my butt.

And thanks to your great advice, I can't ever pick up $5.00 I dropped in the parking lot because it probably was placed there by a sex molester waiting underneath my car to grab my leg.

I can no longer drive my car because I can't buy gas from certain gas companies!

If you don't send this e-mail to at least 144,000 people in the next 70minutes, a large dove with diarrhea will land on your head at 5:00 PM 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...

Have a wonderful day....

Oh, by the way.....A South American scientist from Argentina, after a lengthy study, has discovered that people with insufficient brain activity read their e-mail with their hand on the mouse. Don't bother taking it off now, it's too late.

Oh, goodness, that was funny! I seriously have received most of those e-mails! Thanks for the good laugh - I needed that!

Crazy Mom said...

LOL!!!! I guess I have insufficient brain activity! :) And yes, I, too, have gotten most of those e-mails, and am proud to say I don't think I have sent many of them on!

That is HILARIOUS! I have received MANY of these e-mails, too (as I'm sure the majority of us have!), but I now check www.snopes.com (if I think one is really serious) to find out if it's true. I don't often send forwards anyway... they basically just annoy me! :-)

I love that post, Donette! Very funny :)

I do remember you from college, I am so glad you left me a comment. I think we must have a lot in common because for one thing I am reading Idols of the Heart right now...and Heaven (the one by R.Alcorn).

About that "hooking" thing....we tease my mom about that all the time. Because they really do say that..."I'm into hooking" So funny to see an "older lady" say this so innocently when they are talking about their sewing!

Heather said...

That was great! Everyone who knows me well at all knows I REFUSE to send on, or even read, forwards. At least I can say with a clear conscience that I have not contributed to those ridiculous schemes!

I used to read them, but now I mostly delete those forwarded emails.

Memorable ones include: Roll up your windows while driving (a homemade bomb could be tossed in) and don't pull over for unmarked police cars (a criminal could be posing as an officer).

Hilarious, Donette! I want to send this to my mom (because she believes everything she reads on e-mail) but she would probably be offended. So I will just laugh at it..... :-)
