Burlap Boy

I’m sure some of you have seen this already, but I laughed my ass off when I read it and wanted to share. For everyone who’s sick of these “dying kids” e-mails, here’s one for you.
I am a very sick little boy. My mother is typing this for me, because I can’t. She is crying. Don’t cry, Mommy! Mommy is always sad, but she says it’s not my fault. I asked her if it was God’s fault, but she didn’t answer, and only started crying harder, so I don’t ask her that anymore. The reason she is so sad is that I’m so sick. I was born without a body. It doesn’t hurt, except when I go to sleep.

The doctors gave me an artificial body. My body is a burlap bag filled with leaves. The doctors said that was the best they could do on account of us havin’ no money or insurance. I would like to have a body transplant, but we need more money. Mommy doesn’t work because she said employers don’t hire crying people. I said, “Don’t cry, Mommy,” and she hugged my burlap body. Mommy always gives me hugs, even though she’s allergic to burlap, and it chafes her real bad.

I hope you will help me. You can help me if you forward this e-mail. Dr. Johansen said if you foward this e-mail then Bill Gates will team up with AOL and do a survey with NASA. Then the astronauts will collect prayers from school children all over America and take them up to space so that the angels can hear them better. Then they will go to the Pope, and he will take up a collection in church and send the money to the doctors. The doctors could help me better then.

Maybe one day I will be able to play baseball. Or maybe just use my lungs and heart, when the doctors make them. The doctors said that every time you foward this letter, the astronauts can take another prayer to the angels. Please help me. Mommy is so sad, and I want a body. I don’t want my leaves to rot before I turn 10.

If you don’t foward this e-mail, that’s OK. Mommy says you’re a mean heartless person who doesn’t care about a poor little boy with only a head. She says that she hopes that you stew in the raw pit of your own guilt-ridden stomach. What kind of wretched person are you that you can’t take five *ucking minutes to forward this to all your friends so that they can feel guilt and shame for the rest of their day, and then maybe help a poor, bodiless nine-year-old boy?

Please help me. This really sucks. I try to be happy but it’s hard. I wish I had a puppy. I wish I could hold a puppy.

Thank You. Billy ‘Smiles’ Evans, The boy with just a head. And a burlap sack for a body.
The saddest part of this is that the snopes people have actually had people forward this, asking if ** IT’S TRUE. Yipes. **
How scary is that?

sounds like this kid is related to the scarecrow from ‘the wizard of oz’.

Billy? I thought his name was Russell!

Got that one from a friend of mine who usually sends out some of the weepiest stuff, so you can imagine my surprise when I read that one! Hillarious, I actually woke the hubby up to read it to him.
And yes, she knew it was a joke because it was written verbaitem of what Zette wrote. I mailed right back out to all the people who forward me the others!!! What comes around goes around.
