To all my good email friends

To One and all of my Good E-mail buds:

As the holidays approach, my heartfelt appreciation goes out 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 wealthy.

Extra thanks to whoever sent me the one about rat crap in the glue on
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 concern I no longer drink Coca Cola because it can remove toilet
stains.

I no longer drink Pepsi or Dr Pepper since the people who make these
products are atheists who refuse to put "Under God" on their cans.

I no longer use Saran wrap in the microwave because it causes cancer.

I no longer check the coin return on pay phones 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 malls because someone might drug me with a
perfume sample and rob me.

I no longer receive packages from nor send packages by UPS or Fed Ex since
they are actually Al Qaeda in disguise.

I no longer answer the phone because someone will ask me to dial a number
for which I will get a phone bill with calls to Jamaica, Uganda, Singapore,
and Uzbekistan.

I no longer eat KFC because their "chickens" are actually horrible mutant
freaks with no eyes or feathers.

I no longer have any sneakers -- but that will change once I receive my free
replacement pair from Nike.

I no longer have to buy expensive cookies from Neiman Marcus since I now
have their recipe.

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 who is about
to die in the hospital (for the 1,387,258th time)

I no longer have any money at all - but that will change once I receive the
$15,000 that Microsoft and AOL are sending me for participating in their
special email tracking program.

Yes, I want to thank you so much for looking out for me that I will now
return the favor!

If you don't send this e-mail to at least 144,000 people in the next 7
minutes, a large pigeon with a wicked case of diarrhea will land on your
head at 5:00 PM (CDT) 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....

LOL, mine is the same way. What is it with Moms? I have sent her so many
snopes links in the past that she now writes and asks me to look it up
before forwarding it.

I was on my way to the Post Office to pick up my case of free M&M's sent
to me because I forwarded their e-mail to five other people, celebrating
the fact that the year 2000 is "MM" in Roman numerals -- when I ran into
a friend whose neighbor was home recovering from having been served a
rat in his bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken.

That, of course, was predictable because everybody with e-mail knows
there's no actual chicken in Kentucky Fried Chicken, which is why the
government made them change their name to KFC. His daughter had survived
a bout with the flesh eating virus she got from a Costa Rican banana,
and his wife was conscious and feeling better, but they were a little
tight on money after the cologne sniffing incident.

Oddly enough, he told me that his neighbor had suddenly passed away from
a spider bite. Apparently it was a rare, South American spider who got
here by way of an international flight and is known to hide under the
lids of public toilet seats. If only he had been warned to look before
he sat down, he might have survived. Equally as unfortunate was his
other neighbor who went scuba diving on his day off, got scooped up by a
forestry helicopter and dumped in the middle of a huge fire! Somedays it
just doesn’t pay to get out of bed! Although after what he told me next,
maybe it doesn’t pay either way!

Anyway, this guy went to sleep one day and when he awoke he was in his
bathtub and it was full of ice and he was sore all over and when he got
out of the tub he realized that his kidneys had been stolen. He saw a
note on his mirror that said "Call 911," but he was afraid to use his
phone because it was connected to his computer, and there was a virus on
his computer that would destroy his hard drive if he opened e-mail
entitled "Join the crew!"

He knew it wasn't a hoax because he was a computer programmer himself
and was working on software to prevent a global disaster in which all
the computers get together and distribute the $250 Neiman-Marcus cookie
recipe under the leadership of Bill Gates.

It's true. I read it all last week in a mass e-mail from Bill Gates
himself, who was also promising me a free Disney World vacation and
$5,000 if I would forward the e-mail to everyone I know.

Anyways, the poor man tried to call 911 from a pay phone to report his
missing kidneys, but a voice on the line first asked him to press #90,
which unwittingly gave the bandit full access to the phone line at the
guy's expense. Then, reaching into the coin-return slot, he got jabbed
with an HIV-infected needle, The needle was wrapped in a note that said,
"Welcome to the world of AIDS."

Luckily, he was only a few blocks from a hospital -- the one where that
little boy who is dying of cancer is, You know, the boy whose last wish
is for everyone in the world to send him an e-mail and the American
Cancer Society has agreed to pay him a nickel for every e-mail he receives.

I sent him two e-mails and one of them was a bunch of x's and o's in the
shape of an angel. If you get it and forward it to more than 10 people,
you will have good luck, but if you forward it to fewer than 10 people
you will have bad luck for seven years. The other one gets you a FREE
case of Coca-Cola, just for receiving the email!

So, anyway, the poor guy tried to drive himself to the hospital, but on
the way he noticed another car driving without its lights on. To be
helpful, he flashed his lights at that car and he was promptly shot
because that is a gang initiation.

If you forward that information to all your friends, you will receive
four green M&Ms. If you don't, the owner of Proctor and Gamble will
report you to his Satanist friends and you will have more bad luck --
you will get cancer from the Sodium Laureth Sulfate in your shampoo,
your wife will develop breast cancer from using the antiperspirant that
clogs the pores under your arms, and the government will put a tax on
your e-mail forever.

I know all of this is true because I read it on the Internet.

That's the advantage to being married. Guys know that the seat
should be left up to protect users from spiders. The difficult part
is teaching women not to leave the seat down when they're done.

Let me guess. There is a scorpion living in the toilet paper dispenser, and
he's leaving the paper off as a safety measure. ;)

WHICH reminds me! of the time I was getting ready for bed in Belize and I
grabbed my night gown, which was hanging on a hook on the wall, and went to
throw it over my head, and out of the corner of my eye I saw a black "spot"
on it, and I was upset because it was brand new and I thought I had gotten
it dirty somehow, but upon further inspection there was a scorpion hiding in
the folds. <hows that for a run-on stentence?>

The scream heard round the world.

I tried drawing healthy boundaries re ridiculous emails. My sis sends me
one on how we should stop allowing people to invade our borders and that
God's wrath will "get" me if I don't share it......

Well, since I a Wiccan-Buddhist-Shamanist-xChristian, I wrote back hitting
REPLY ALL. I voiced MY opinion regarding the email to her ENTIRE forward
list. OMIGOD she was pissed off at me for SOOO long...... My sister says I
should read these and just delete them. I say, you shouldn't include me on
the list. So now we're in a battle of wills over who is accountable!~ LOL!

Mom only stayed mad for about a month or so :-)

Hey, whenever I get emails on things that are hoaxes, I always reply
back to as many people as I can giving the URL from Snopes pointing out
that it is a hoax. Sometimes people get mad at me, but I figure I'm

What is it with you men, griping and accusing us of using too
much toilet paper? DH brings this up every time we buy the
stuff, and I always have to remind him that we do have to use it
after we take a pee. To hear you guys tell it, we should just

Well, what would you do on a two-week backpacking trip? 14 rolls of TP
would pretty well leave no room for food or clothing...

Of course, these new high-tech toilets that wash and blow-dry might

A bidet is hardly "new and high-tech."

I wonder how many Americans have given themselves a nice shot of toilet
water in the face while looking down and stepping on that little lever, lol.

Interesting that our culture, which is so obsessed with hygiene and BO, is
so primitive in this regard as compared to some other countries that are
much less obsessed with it.

I usually don't begin to panic when I notice we are running low on
something but when we are down to like 2 rolls or TP, I honestly will get
ready right then and go out to the store. I guess our bout with the
rotovirus when my son was about 9 months old taught me that you can NEVER

Those types of toilets are funny - well, after you have figured them out.
We went to the home of a doctor friend and he had one of those toilets
where you have to close the lid for it to flush. Well, someone had
previously gone in there and "left something" and couldn't figure out how
to flush it, so they just shut the door and slipped back into the small
crowd. Well, poor DH was the next one in there and he knew some had seen
him go in and he wouldn't leave the bathroom until he figured out how to
flush it because he didn't want someone to think he had been the dummy who
left the present in the potty. He was just about to disassemble the thing
and manually flush it at the tank when he shut the lid to kneel down on it
for leverage when it flushed. We laughed the whole way home.

See, http://www.totoneorest.com/features.html . This sort of toilet is
to a bidet as a Rolls Royce is to a Ford Escort. Electronic
programmable remote control, heated seat, auto-flush, automatic

I cannot stand leaving the lid up. I consider that as gross as leaving the
seat up. I hate walking into a bathroom and seeing the "hole" in the
toilet. I guess I was just raised with the lid always down. My SIL always
leaves it up and it just ticks me off when she comes over. It just looks
gross. Also found out when you flush that way your germs "fly" into the
atmosphere so it is always best to put the lid down before you flush, which
I do anyway!

Anybody ever seen a gas toilet? My great-aunt had one of those when I
was a little girl. When you closed the lid, a trap would open up, dump
the contents into a tank of some kind, and you'd hear a whoosh and a
fire lighting. I guess it burned everything. I was so scared to use
that thing, I'd walk a mile to my grandparents' house to use their
bathroom! I've yet to find anyone else who's ever seen one.

We had one of those flip-up trash cans in our kitchen, and my little brother
came in early one morning as I was eating my cereal and started to go in
that.

LOL. Well, I figure I am not a clothes-shopping-aholic. I am not into
jewelry, cut back on the TP maybe I'd want diamonds

Gosh, don't eat beans then - you could blow yourself right out of the
bathroom!

We always found that we used more of the stuff when we were on
camping trips. I think it's because we tend to eat and drink
more. Could be we're not the norm, though.

Nearly thirty years ago, when one of my brothers presented to my SIL a
beautiful diamond and a request for marriage, he told her that
acceptance included a pledge to buy nothing but Charmin for the
bathrooms. We still laugh about it along with the fact that he has now
amended his mandate to include Cottonell (sp?).

That brought back memories of the camping trip in my 20s when I ate volumes
of granola bars and hot tea..... interesting.

Can't say I ever went that route. When we camp we feast. DH is
a heck of a cook, even at the campsite.

Actually, those are the #1 request of military in Iraq. The wipes are all
they use, not TP. They prefer wipes. Either the prep H ones or cottenelle
or baby wipes. They continue that way when home.

Can't help but think of Bill Bryson's "A Walk in the Woods" during this
conversation. I haven't laughed that hard over a book my whole life.

LOL. Then there's that memorable scene in Crocodile Dundee where he
figures out it's to wash your backside.

ALong with all that exercise and fresh air - things probably move along
quite well?
