Paragon of Hoaxes!

        

But, I Read It On The Internet!

(aka The Paragon of Hoaxes)



 

I was on my way to the post office    to pick up my case of

free 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,
  a young man, was home recovering from having been served a  rat
   

in his bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken - which is predictable, since as 
everyone knows, there's no actual chicken in Kentucky Fried Chicken,
which is why the government made them change their name to


Anyway, one day this friend went to sleep 

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


and infect all the   electronics in his house

if he opened an e-mail entitled "Join the crew!"
He knew it wasn't a hoax because he himself was a computer
programmer

who was working on software to prevent a global disaster
in which all the computers get together

and distribute the $250.00     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   vacation
 

and $5,000 if I would forward the e-mail to
everyone I know.)


The poor man then tried to call 911  from a 
pay phone

  to report his missing kidneys, but a voice on the
line  first asked him to press 


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   which was 
wrapped around a note that said,



Luckily he was only a few blocks from the hospital


the one where that little boy

 

who is dying of cancer is, the one 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 but for 10 people you will only
have OK luck



and if you send it to fewer than 10 people you will have


 

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 him
 

 and was promptly shot 

as part of a gang initiation.


Send THIS to all the friends who send you their

junk mail

and you will receive 4 green


but 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,


and the U.S. government will put a tax 

on your  e-mails forever.

I know this is all true 'cause I read it
on the Internet !
