One of the things that annoys me most in life? Otherwise intelligent people sending along "URGENT!" urban legends with helpful advice on how to save our lives. From their work email accounts. From prestigious law firms ( Read more... )

I have in a Bank Account the sum, princely, of US$26,000,000 million US doolars that I cannot accessate because of the war in Iraq, a Russian submarine accident, and suchlike. Please send me your social security number, passport, and daughters and I will totally give you some of it.

Sincerely

HRH Emale Abusi

I'm not sure which is more funny: "US$26,000,000 million US doolars" or "accessate." Dead on, prince.

And there's a bill called 602P that's going to put a TAX on every EMAIL that you send! Call your Congressman now and tell them to vote against Bill 602P!!!!!!!

Hi, my name is Craig Sheffield, and I'm a cute little boy from somewhere in England. (The rainy side.) I have cancer, and to survive thus far I've had to amuptate two arms, a leg, most of a nose, and three inches of a buttock.

Thankfully, none of that belonged to me. (Little Eustace down the street, however, he's right pissed.)

Please send me a lot of cards. If you do, an angel will fly down from the heavens and french-kiss you. Honestly. Would you like to see my drawing of an angel?

... unfortunately, Eustace is the one who usually does my drawings for me, but now he doesn't have any arms. Poor bastard.

Anyway, Mum says you have to send me cards so that I'll get better--you just have to. Or she'll come kill you. (Honestly. Don't piss off Mum. Ask Mrs. Blanchard--Eustace's mom--about that.)

It's because you're all so snarky that I love you. ;)

Now forward this on, otherwise you will have bad luck for 13 years!!!!!!
