…and it turns out that she had the Ebola virus, so by blowing kisses into the box she unwittingly caused the anal evisceration of everyone she loved.

Years ago, I recieved the only chain-type letter I ever needed: it was a “Do whatever the hell you want with this, I really don’t care” letter that if not sent to anyone, granted you immunity from all future chain-letters. That’s right, by _not_ sending it chain-style, I never, ever had to worry about getting syphlis-while losing everything I own-dying a horrible death-and never loving again, and could still get the good stuff!

I think I could send it one peson, or something like that (which explains how I got it in the first place).  
Masterpiece, **RickJay**.

. . . and far be it from me to resurrect a thread, especially in MPSIMS, but I just had to let you know that your literary allusions didn’t pass completely unremarked, **Smeghead**.
