I received this email from a friend and followed the instructions but nothing happened!! I’m dying to know, what was in the container! So are all the people I forwarded it to!
An old lady walked into a Grocery Store.
She wanted to buy the best dog food in the world for her little puppy.
She went up to the cash register to buy the food.
The sales-lady told her that the store did not allow old ladies to buy animal food
unless they show the actual animal because a lot of old ladies like to eat the animal food themselves.
So, the old lady went home, got her dog and went back to the store to buy her dog food.
The next day she came back to buy the best cat food around.
But the Sales lady told her the same thing, so the old lady went back home and
brought her cat to the Grocery Store to buy the cat food.
The next day the old lady went to the Grocery Store again carrying a big container.
She went up to the the sales lady and said, " Put your hand inside here "
The Saleslady shook her head. " NO " , she said, " there is probably something in
there that will bite me! “.
" I promise you that there is nothing in here that will bite you.”, the old lady said.
So the Sales lady stuck her hand inside the container and screamed.
To find out what was inside the container you must send it to at least 8 people.
When the computer says your mail has been sent, hit ALT-8 and the container
will pop up on your screen.
Of course, the container did NOT pop up on my screen and now the suspense is killing me!
It’s just another damn chain letter. I got sucked in by one of them (the “science fair project”) a couple of weeks ago, and caught a lot of heat from my friends.
Ya know, it’s times like these that I wish the internet had been common in the old DOS days. Because instead of Alt-8, you could have used Ctrl-Alt-Del and really nailed people.
And I think the guy that created the Ctr-Alt-Del shortcut just passed away a couple of weeks ago. Either that or he had a Birthday, or got a raise or something, ---- Anyone?
My netizen ethics and professional experience with chain letters urges me to post, even though it is likely futile.
Participation in chain letters is actually consdered “network unfriendly” activity by many ISP’s, thus making it a violation of their AUP (Acceptable/Appropriate Usage Policy).
The rare chances of actually getting busted would come about if your recipient(s) are so incensed by your perpetual spewage of crap and waste of perfectly good bandwidth, that they report your mail (with full headers) to your ISP. If they complain to your ISP often enough, or in sufficient numbers, you might get a wrist-slap or a “cease and desist”. If your ISP is looking to get rid of you for some reason (ie suspected recreational NASA hacking), they might use your chain letter fetish as the last straw and kick your connectivity to the curb.
Unfortunately, most of the people who send this sort of stuff to me are my friends and family. sigh
Damnit Grandma! How many times do I have to tell you?? Stop sending me this horseshit, or I’ll have you kicked off the net!!! PS - Thanks for the birthday card. :dubious:
