Do you ever get those annoying chain
mails that are well written or has some supposedly powerful message and at the
end of it, says of you don’t send it to 99.9 people you will see worms in your
food or some crap like that.
I really wonder if anyone
believes messages like that, I mean think about it. It says if you don’t send
it to your whole inbox you don’t get a blessing or you have 3.5 years of bad luck
(I just divided the years of breaking a mirror bad luck by 2, surely that’s
much worse?), if you send it to only half of you inbox you get a wish but it
comes true in less years, however if you send it to your full inbox you get
your wish in 10mins. How is the number of bad luck years calculated? Does the
email have spyware attached to calculate the percentage of your inbox you sent
it too? How long do you think it took for the average person to figure out
there is no correlation?
Seriously can you tell me that
in the list of 62 emails you have to read, if you don’t drop everything and
send this threatening email to all your contacts so that they too can forward
the threatening email to their contacts your left pinkie toe will grow a fungal
nail. And what are the rules if you get the mail more than once, if you don’t
send it again does the previous good luck cease to be or will you get a pardon?
I really try not to take my frustration
out on the people that send me emails like that; I just block any future emails
from them. Sometimes I forward it to only that person just to see if they’ll
send it back to all their contacts (only happens on the rare occasion I have
time). Other times I just send them an imaginary
middle finger (doesn’t hurt them but makes me feel better).
What dim-witted horrific person
sat down and came up with this stupid concept. I really would like to meet them,
I could write at the end of this what I would to do the person, but I unlike
them believe in the surprises, however I can say whatever it is will not be the
threat of a fungal nails (will probably involve a baseball bat and their
computer making a physical connection).
