[Friday Funny] Thanks for all the e-mail

[The Friday Funny]

My thanks to all those who have sent me emails this past year:

I must send my thanks to whomever sent me the one about rat manure in the glue on envelopes, because I now have to use a wet towel with every envelope that needs sealing.

I now scrub the top of every can I open - for the same reason.

I no longer have any savings because I gave it to a sick girl, who is about to die in the hospital for the 1,387,258th time.

In fact, all my money is gone, but that will change once I receive the $15,000 that Bill Gates and AOL are sending me for participating in their special e-mail program...

Or, I'll receive it from that senior bank clerk in Nigeria who wants to split $7 million with me for pretending to be a long-lost relative of a customer who died intestate.

I no longer worry about my soul because I have 363,214 angels looking out for me, and St. Theresa's novena will grant my every wish.

I no longer use cancer-causing deodorants, even though I smell like a water buffalo on a hot day.

Thanks to you, I have learned that my prayers only get answered if I forward an e-mail to seven of my friends and make a wish within five minutes.

Because of your concern, I no longer drink Coca-Cola because it can remove toilet stains.

I no longer buy petrol without taking a man along to watch the car so a serial killer won't crawl in my back seat when I'm filling up.

And I don't go to shopping malls because someone will drug me with a perfume sample and rob me.

I no longer answer the phone because someone will ask me to dial a number and I will get a phone bill with calls to Jamaica, Uganda, Singapore and Uzbekistan.

I can't use anyone's toilet but mine because a big brown African spider is lurking under the seat to cause me instant death when it bites my bum.

And thanks to your great advice, I can't even pick up the $5.00 I found dropped in the car park because it probably was placed there by an axe-wielding maniac waiting underneath my car to grab my leg.

If you don't send this e-mail to at least 144,000 people in the next 70 minutes, a large dove with diarrhoea will land on your head at 5:00pm this afternoon and the fleas from 1200 camels will infest your back, causing you to grow a hairy hump.

I know this, because it actually happened to a friend of my next-door-neighbour's ex-mother-in-law's second husband's cousin's beautician.
