Sometimes I need to be reminded not to take all those e-mails and urban legends so seriously . . .



----------

PLEASE READ . . . VERY IMPORTANT!


Don't go to the bathroom on October 28th. CIA intelligence reports that a major plot is planned for that day. Anyone who takes a poop on the 28th will be bitten on the butt by an alligator. Reports indicate that organized groups of alligators are planning to rise up into unsuspecting American's toilet bowls and bite them when they are doing their dirty business.

I usually don't send emails like this, but I got this information from a reliable source. It came from a friend of a friend whose cousin is dating this girl whose brother knows this guy whose wife knows this lady whose husband buys hotdogs from this guy who knows a shoeshine guy who shines the shoes of a mailroom worker who has a friend whose drug dealer sells drugs to another mailroom worker who works in the CIA building. He apparently overheard two guys talking in the bathroom about alligators and came to the conclusion that we are going to be attacked. So it must be true.

Thank you for letting us know about this upcoming attack! I'm even now rushing to the nearest medical-supply store for a bed pan.



I received that same report via electronic mail, so I forwarded it to most of my correspondents. It's great!

I do think this is one of the more funny ones I have seen.

Actually, most "reliable sources" on the internet these days is just about as reliable as this one, LOL!!

got it on my computer too. It's a giggle. There are a few others going around same theme - the Canadian one (Newfie) is great. I think you have to be Canadian to appreciate it though.

Ok

The local Newfoundland police were called to the local department store and surrounded the building. They were sure they would stop all the terrorist activity as there a reported siting of "Bed Linen" on the 2nd floor.

If you receive an email entitled "Badtimes," delete it immediately. Do not open it. Apparently this one is pretty nasty.

Â:censor:
It will not only erase everything on your hard drive, but it will alsoÂ:censor:delete anything on disks within 20 feet of your computer. :paranoid3:

It demagnetizes the stripes on ALL of your credit cards.


It reprograms your ATM access code, screws up the tracking on your VCR and uses subspace field harmonics to scratch any CD's you attempt to play.


It will program your phone auto dial to call only 900 numbers. Â:censor:
This virus will mix antifreeze into your fish tank.

Â:censor:
It will drink ALL your beer!

Â:censor:
:disturbed:paranoid3FOR GOD'S SAKE, ARE YOU LISTENING? :disturbed:paranoid3

Â:censor:
It will leave dirty socks on the coffee table when you are expectingÂ:censor:company.


It will replace your shampoo with Nair and your Nair with Rogaine, all the while dating your current boy/girlfriend behind your back and billing their hotel rendezvous to your Visa card.

Â:censor:
It will cause you to run with scissors and throw things in a way that is only fun until someone loses an eye. :disturbed
Â:censor:
It will rewrite your backup files, changing all your active verbs to passive tense and incorporating undetectable misspellings that grossly change the interpretations of key sentences.
:disturbed
Â:censor:
If the "Badtimes" message is opened in a Windows 95/98 environment, it will leave the toilet seat up and leave your hair dryer plugged in dangerously close to a full bathtub.

Â:censor:
It will not only remove the forbidden tags from your mattresses and pillows; it will also refill your skim milk with whole milk.
:splitter:

**WARN AS MANY PEOPLE AS YOU CAN.**

Â:censor:
And if you don't send this to 5000 people in 20 seconds you'll f**t so hard that your right leg will spasm, shoot straight out in front of you, sending sparks, that will ignite the person nearest you.
