>Yes, I want to thank you all so much for looking out for me that I will

>If you don't send this e-mail to at least 144,000 people in the next 7
>minutes, a large pigeon with a wicked case of diahorrea will land on
>your head at 5:00PM this afternoon. I know this will occur because it
>actually happened to a friend of my next door neighbour's
>ex-mother-in-law's second husband's cousin's beautician.

>Merry Christmas!
