349405	2005-04-27 09:40:00	Are there many out there who pass on jokes? spam ..... I try really hard not to pass on anything, but occasionally something looks good and just slips through.... how many of you have seen this one or this sort of thing? LOL :xmouth: David proposed! She accepted, but then had to leave because she had a meeting in 20 min. When she got to her office, she noticed on her computer she had some e-mail. > > She checked it, the usual stuff from her friends, but then she saw one that she had never gotten before. It was this poem. She simply deleted it without even reading all of it. > > BIG MISTAKE! Later that evening, she received a phone call from the police. > > It was about DAVID! He had been in an accident with an 18 wheeler. He didn't survive. > > CASE 2: Take Katie Robinson She received this poem and being the believer that she was, she sent it to a few of her friends but didn't have enough e-mail addresses to send out the full 10 that you must. > Three days later, Katie went to a masquerade ball Later that night when she left to get to her car to go home, she was killed on the spot by a hit-and-run drunk driver. > > CASE 3: Richard S. Willis sent this poem out within 45 minutes of reading it. Not even 4 hours later walking along the street to his new job interview with a really big company, when he ran into Cynthia Bell, his secret love for 5 years. Cynthia came up to him and told him of her passionate crush on him that she had had on him for 2 years. > Three days later, he proposed to her and they got married. Cynthia and Richard are still married with three children, happy as ever! > > This is the poem: > > Around the corner I have a friend, > In this great city that has no end, > Yet the days go by and weeks rush on, > And before I know it, a year is gone. > And I never see my old friends face, > For life is a swift and terrible race, > He knows I like him just as well, > As in the days when I rang his bell. > And he rang mine but we were younger then, > And now we are busy, tired men. > Tired of playing a foolish game, > Tired of trying to make a name. > "Tomorrow" I say! "I will call on Jim > Just to show that I'm thinking of him." > But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes, > And distance between us grows and grows. > Around the corner, yet miles away, > "Here's a telegram sir," "Jim died today." > And that's what we get and deserve in the end. > Around the corner, a vanished friend. > > Remember to always say what you mean. > If you love someone, tell them. > Don't be afraid to express yourself. > Reach out and tell someone what they mean to you. > Because when you decide that it is the right time it might be too > late. Seize the day. Never have regrets. And most importantly, stay > close to your friends and family, for they have helped make you the > person that you are today. > > You must send this on in 3 hours after reading the letter to 10 different people. If you do this, you will receive unbelievably good luck in love. The person that you are most attracted to will soon return your feelings. > If you do not, bad luck will rear its ugly head at you THIS IS NOT A JOKE! You have read the warnings, seen the cases, and the > consequences. > > You MUST send this on or face dreadfully bad luck. *NOTE* The more people that you send this to, the better luck You will have. > > SMILE, even through your tears!!!!! will not emailing but posting be the same????

349406	2005-04-27 09:45:00	I hate them . I got one from someone I had once traded with on Trademe last night . It's not right . What makes people think that they have the right to take my private e-mail address and then send it to 9 of their friends? Who votes to put forwarders in the Gulags? . itirgus . com/RD/gulags . jpg" target="_blank">pics . itirgus . com	Aurealis_ (7897)

349408	2005-04-27 09:48:00	Beetle, if you deleted that e-mail and we don't hear from you for a week or two then I guess I'll have to Edit my last post out. -Cynic for life.	Aurealis_ (7897)

Its loathsome, rubbish, and damn annoying. Bad enough getting this stuff directly without it being stuck all over forums. Superstitious, gullible and it DOES NOT slip through. Its sent. Deliberately.	pctek (84)

I positively hate emails like this. I mean, what friend would send you this wishing you bad luck if you don't comply? They are just electronic version of chain mail - total spam. Those sorts of emails get deleted upon receipt by me, and what is worse, often they include your email addy in the To or CC and don't use BCC so that everyone gets to see it. :annoyed:	Jen (38)

I forget the last time I forwarded any Email and certainly not this sort.	AMD1 (6552)
