E-mails

I get e-mails on various subjects that I'm supposed to get really worked up about and react the way the perpetrator of the e-mail would like. I'm supposed to sign a petition, join a parade, vote, not vote, buy, not buy. Then I'm supposed to pass the e-mail along.

I don't do that. There were times when I did and invariably I'd be sorry about it.

And please don't send me any thinly veiled threats.

Send this to seven other people within the next seven minutes or else.
I won't do it.

If you're threatening me with bad luck, forget it. I've got plenty of bad luck and it's not 'cause I didn't send people stupid e-mails.

That's not to say I haven't gotten some really funny stuff. For instance:

I've gotten things that are so funny they've made me laugh until I cry. But you can bet they didn't end...if you don't send this in five minutes to five people you will have five years of horror.

I'm with you! I don't let them get to me! Go away I say! But then again I gotta admit... I just didn't need an additional ingredient to go into the pot. What's cooking? I think it's some kind of porridge. Let me look at the box. oooohh...Instant Karma. just add water and as many non-specific threats that are floating around in our society as possible whether substantial or not.
