Notice how it keeps switching between saying Intel and Microsoft? Notice how it went from "my friend is an attorney" to "I am an attorney"? Notice all the other countless nonsense and balogne being spewed? I read this and couldn't stop laughing my head off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HellBender Posted November 24, 2003 Share Posted November 24, 2003 lol, if this is the first time you've gotten this, you've been lucky. I think the first time I saw this was about 7 years ago... Around the same time I was panicking that my ICQ account would be shut down because I didn't forward that IM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnsonBox Posted November 24, 2003 Share Posted November 24, 2003 Geek, not funny at all. In 1999, my American penpal forwarded the same letter to me and I clicked it to forward it to others without thinking the possibility of earning money. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
