Just like Sterling North, I am just moving this to the top! A post for the ages! I have to route this through the company! Man, I get more of these damn FORWARDS than regular e-mail, even at my work e-mail address!

He left out one of my favorite logical flaws in the typical chain letter: The beginning of the letter tells you, ā€œThis letter has been around the world 8 times and has been read by hundreds of people.ā€ The instructions at the end of the letter tell you to copy the letter exactly ā€“ with no alterations whatsoever ā€“ and send it on. If this letter has never been altered as it was sent from person to person, how can the letter say itā€™s been around the world 8 times?! ---

I gave this letter to 2 people who continuously gave me that chain mail crap. Afterwards, they never sent it back. Then again, they never want to talk to me, but oh well, thatā€™ll teach them. Sealemon88 and CanadianSue, thank you so much, you donā€™t know how much headaches you prevented from that. * * * Smile, it makes people wonder what you are thinking.
