Volgende brief werd mij bezorgd door een vriend uit de U.K. na de zoveelste kettingmail die hij had ontvangen. Het begint hem werkelijk te irriteren , daarom onderstaande tekst die tot nadenken stemt :
Dear Friends,
With Easter just behind us, I'd like to extend my heartfelt appreciation
to all of you who have taken the time and trouble to send me
"forwards" over the past 12 months. Thank you for making me feel
safe, secure, blessed and healthy.
* Extra thanks
to whoever sent me the email about rat cr*p in the glue and envelopes - cause I
now have to go get a wet towel every time I need to seal an envelope.
* Also, I scrub
the top of every can I open for the same reason.
* Because of
your genuine concern, I no longer drink Coca Cola because I know it can remove
toilet stains, which is not exactly an appealing characteristic.
* I no longer
check the coin return on payphones because I could be pricked with a needle
infected with AIDS.
* I no longer
use cancer-causing deodorants even though I smell like a water buffalo on a hot
day.
* I no longer
go to shopping centres because someone might drug me with a cologne sample and
rob me.
* I no longer
eat KFC because their "chickens" are actually horrible mutant freaks
with no eyes or feathers.
* I no longer
worry about my soul because at last count, I have 363,214 angels looking out
for me.
* Thanks to
you, I have learned that God only answers my prayers if I forward an e-mail to
seven of my friends and make a wish within five minutes.
* I no longer
have any savings because I gave it to a sick girl on the internet who is about
to die in the hospital (for the 1,387,258th time).
* I no longer
have any money at all in fact - but that will change once I receive the £15,000
that Microsoft and AOL are sending me for participating in their special
on-line email program. Yes, I want to thank you all so much for looking
out for me that I will now return the favour !
* If you don't
send this e-mail to at least 144,000 people in the next 7 seconds, a large
pigeon with a wicked case of diahorrea will land on your head at 5:00PM this afternoon. I know
this will occur because it actually happened to a friend of my next door
neighbor's ex-mother-in-law's second husband's cousin's beautician.
Hope it brought a smile to your face in these hectic
weeks : )
Wishing you all you've ever dreamed of for the rest of
this year . Yours sincerely, Davy.
