-We've all received chain letters from people who are supposed to be smart enough not to fall for them and should know better than to forward them. But there's only so many times you can sit back politely and stroke your friends' egos with stuff like "Oh, thank you so much for showing me what a good friend you are! Thank you for thinking of me, I know I'm so special to you because you were thoughtful enough to send me this most profoundly eloquent masterpiece. Best of luck, you deserve it!" Or quietly delete, hoping your silence will somehow send your dimwitted friends the message that you don't want this junk and that you stopped believing in good luck chains around the same time you stopped believing in the Easter Bunny. And the truth is you'd rather just tell them "Stop sending this crap, you know it doesn't work and you will have very hard luck if you send me another one! I'm sick of these things and I want to hear from *you* not a bunch of quoted sappy poems and threats of bad luck if you don't forward it! *Is the message even starting to sink in yet!?"
-Well, that is the rant part of things. Now onto the debunk and mockout, though there may be a little bit of rant thrown in for good measure.
Subject: I want this back. It DOES work.
-No, correction:
Subject: I don't want this back. It DOES not work.
-Argh! *sigh* Here we go again.
Sorry, I know that you have all had this at least a dozen times,
-Which is annoying, so why the blue blazes are you so darn inconsiderate! to send me yet another copy of the same stupidity!?
but with the way things are around here, I can't afford even one day of bad luck, let alone a whole YEAR!!!
-Oh, please! Like a lousy chain letter is going to change your luck. You can't seriously believe that crap, do you? I thought you were my friend, what moron has been using your computer? How can they even manage that if they're dumb enough to believe that an email will give them bad luck if they don't forward, and good luck exponentially depending on how many people they spam with this dreck?
A little luck
Sincerely,
You never know?
This may sound radical but Dennis got this the other day and sent it off, helping to
-Gosh, these two poor fictional fools, Dennis and Sean, have been sending out the same stupid email hoping for that windfall since Nov. 3, 2002 when this particular chain originated - wow, impressive!...NOT.
No windfall occurred...Or if it did, it had nothing to do with a lousy fwd. One of the people he sent it to probably was not responsible for the windfall he -might or might not have had, but not because of receiving good luck spam.
AKA:
An Imploding FriendshipWinkout
An Idiot Forwarding Wildly
Good Luck!
I know they
May there always be
May your purse
May the sun come out
May a rainbow come out
May a friend always
May God fill your heart with laughter
OK, this is what you have to do....
this within 1 hour from when you open it!
Now.................Make A wish!!!!!!
-I wish people would stop sending chain letters!
I hope you made your wish! Now then, if you send to:
1 person --- your wish will
3 people ---
5 people ---
6 people ---
7 people ---
8 people ---
9 people ---
10 people ---
12 people ---
15 people ---
20 people ---
-Because those claims are nothing but bullcrap.
If you delete this after you read it... you will
of your friends . you will
-You will just annoy the heck out of people, embarrass your friends, insult their intelligence by assuming they would fall for this junk, hurt their feelings because you could only be bothered to send chain mail, hurt their feelings because you threatened/wished bad luck on them if they don't pass on the spam - plus you'll look terribly gullible into the bargain!
