My inspirational email of the day
complete with cute puppy pictures
goopy sweet music
and the inevitable ominous threat.
Don't break this chain
or else.
Send this around the world
or else!
Send this to your ten favorite friends
in five minutes
and that better include me
or else!
Stop whatever you're doing
and send this generic prayer
to 7 people to each send to 7 people
or else!
Put your name on the bottom line
Go to the top and erase mine
Take the one in the middle
and send it to 5 people
and help me get rich,
or else.
Or else
you'll be the creep who breaks the chain.
Or else
I'll know you don't love me
Or else
you'll miss your one and only chance to change your life
Or else
you'll be the jerk who lets everybody else down
Or else
a lonely child won't see his dream of 7 zillion emails come true
Or else
you're just a dirty rotten chainbreaker.

Post a CommentHilarious! I'm a chainbreaker, too. You come up with some very interesting topics!
too cute!!!!
My rule is to never forward anything unless it is truly hilarious or amazing, but that rarely happens. I used to get a bunch from 2-3 people, but they've mysteriously stopped. Hmm. Maybe they found out I never sent them on. I think it's funny how every single week is "Friendship Week," so you better send more crap to your friends!! :) This kind of stuff was a total time-waster at my last job. They spent hours a day filling out surveys, etc.
I'm a chainbreaker. I very rarely pass these things along. Maybe that's why I have a lot of bad luck!
Haha!
:0)!!!
Ha. Yeah, I don't forward that junk. However, if you want, you can send me a dollar and . . . LOL
Yeah, but what happens when I only have 3 or 4 on my "forward" list and all of them send me the same forward and want me to keep the chain going. What do I do - send it back to them? Isn't that regifting?
I break almost all the chains...
Very cute! Should I forward this? :)
