Chain Letters and Emails. I hate them!!!

[DawnCt1]

My BFF is a wonderful person, but she is superstitious. She sends me every chain email she gets, and you know how these things come in bunches. I HATE chain letters but I decided to make one up and I sent her this. I can't wait until she opens it.

This chain email has been around the world since the dawn of man. Even prior to the internet, cave men thought about this chain letter and sent smoke signals to neighboring tribes. The Pony Express carried copies of the original across the 13 colonies, the stage coach carried it from the east coast to the Pacific Ocean, and later the steam engine took up the cause. Please forward this to 72 of your closest friends. Have them write 100 times each, I will NOT forward chain letters no matter how many locusts attack my corn crops and how many chipmunks eat my tomatoes. I will not blame my flat tire, my leaking roof or the common cold on my failure to hit "forward". When I see a chain letter or what appears to be a chain letter, I will hit delete." Now here is the REALLY BAD NEWS! I have broken every chain letter than has been emailed to me in the last 10 years. The good news? I am still alive!! LOL!

Great idea! I think I may have to use this on my SIL. I could paper my house with her email forwards and chain mail solicitations.

Feel free and post anything else you would like to add to it. This may end up being the perfect, colaborative chain letter.

I love your chain letter response!!! I too, get quite a few. Once I open them and realize what they are, I hit the "delete" button. I don't reply to them either.

Dawn - I'm sorry but I checked out your quote on Snopes and they said it is not a valid chain letter.

I can't fool you! My friend called me. I asked her, "Did you get my chain letter"? She said, "I am sorry, I deleted it without opening it. I am getting so many that it is out of control so I can't open it". I had to READ it to her. She was in stitches. Of course she wants it now....to send to everyone that sends her chain letters. That is how they end up in my mail box!

Woops, sorry, but so-called anti-chain letters that parody the other chain letters are still chain letters themselves, and are just as annoying when they catch on and get forwarded and posted all over the net. The content may vary a bit from anti to anti-chain, but the idea is hardly original.

I hate those things too. Prayers, scroll down, send to five of your closest friends and send it back to me, just stop it. I need good luck as much as anyone else (and more than some ), but I'm not going to annoy my friends with chain letters.
