Chain E-Letters - I Really Hate Them!
I was really really bored last night. Mrs FM had fallen asleep in her arm chair, probably in an attempt to avoid my continual ranting. My two little Free Markettes were both tucked up in their beds and even the Labrador of Libertarianism was snoring away. So rather than subject myself to the propaganda of the Baghdad Broadcasting Corporation I thought that I’d have a little rootle through some old zip disks (remember them) and see what was on them. So that’s how I came across this little gem. I have no idea where it came from originally, but if you hate stupid chain e-letters, I suggest that you cut & paste it and send it back to the fools who send them.
“Hello, my name is Richard. I suffer from the guilt of not forwarding 50 billion chain letters sent to me by people who actually believe that if you send them on, a poor 6-year-old girl in Arkansas with a breast on her forehead will be able to raise enough money to have it removed before her redneck parents sell her to a travelling freak show.
Do you honestly believe that Bill Gates is going to give you, and everyone to whom you send "his" email, $1000? How stupid are we? "Ooooh, looky here! If I scroll down this page and make a wish, I'll get laid by every good looking model in the magazine!"
Maybe the evil chain letter leprechauns will come into my house and sodomize me in my sleep for not continuing a chain that was started by Saint Peter in 5 AD and brought to the USA by midget pilgrims on the Mayflower.
If you are going to forward something, at least send me something mildly amusing. I have seen all the "send this to 10 of your closest friends, and this poor, wretched excuse for a human being will somehow receive a nickel from some omniscient being" forwards about 90 times. Like I care! Show a little intelligence and think about what you are actually contributing to by sending out these forwards. Chances are, it is your own unpopularity.
The point being? If you get some chain letter that is threatening to leave you sexless or luckless for the rest of your life, delete it. If it is funny, send it on. Do not annoy people by trying to making them feel guilty about a leper in Botswana with no teeth who has been tied to a dead elephant for 27 years and whose only salvation is the 5 cents per letter he will receive if you forward this email.
Oh, by the way all you idiots out there, no company has any way of tracking an e-mail outside their system – no not even Microsoft!
Now forward this to everyone you know. Otherwise, tomorrow morning your underwear will turn carnivorous and consume your genitals!”

Simon must be a really serious shooter if he is so deaf he has to write in capitals.
Nioce of him to invite you though.
