There are programs called e-mail harvesters .... thier purpose is to gather e-mail addresses to be sold to people who want to send SPAM (junk e-mail). The way they do that is to make up a story that will pull at your heart-strings or appeal to your greed or guilt and tell you to pass them to your friends and family. In addition to being passed to the people you intend, they are forwarded to the people who started the thing. Here is a list of things that I know will not happen if you fail to forward something .... having said that, please do not stop sending me jokes and anything else you want me to see.....yogi

.1) I will NOT get bad luck, lose my friends, or lose my mailing
lists if I DON'T forward an email!

2) I will NOT hear any music or see a taco dog, if I do forward
an e-mail.

3) Bill Gates is NOT going to send me money, Victoria Secret
doesn't know anything about a gift certificate they're supposed
to send me.

4) Ford will NOT give me a 50% discount even if I forward my e-mail to more than 50 people!

5) I will NEVER receive gift certificates, coupons, or freebies
from Coca Cola, Cracker Barrel, Old Navy, or anyone else if I
send an e-mail to 10 people.

6) I will NEVER see a pop-up window if I forward an e-mail .
NEVER-- EVER!!

7) There is NO SUCH THING as an e-mail tracking program, and I am not STUPID enough to think that someone will send me $100 for forwarding an e-mail to 10 or more people!

8) There is NO kid with cancer through the Make-a-Wish program in England or anywhere else collecting anything!

9) The government does not have an email postage bill in
Congress called 901B (or whatever they named it this week)
that, if passed, will enable them to charge us 5 cents for
every e-mail we send.

10) There will be NO cool dancing, singing, waving, colorful
flowers, characters, or program that I will receive immediately
after I forward an e-mail. NONE, ZIP, ZERO,NADA!!

11) The American Red Cross will NOT donate 50 cents to certain individual dying of some never-heard-of disease for every e- mail address I send this to. The American Red Cross RECEIVES donations.

12) And finally, I WILL NOT let others guilt me into sending
things by telling me I am not their friend or that I don't
believe in the right religion. If God wants to send me a
message, I believe the bushes in my yard will burn before He
picks up a PC to pass it on!

Now, repeat this to yourself until you have it memorized, and
send it along to at least 5 of your friends before the next
full moon or you will surely be constipated for the next three
months and all of your hair will fall out!
