(OT Joke) Chain Virus Warning

[harry]

This was the original text I received.  I was just making up my own...

<start text>

If you receive an email entitled "Badtimes," delete it immediately.   Do
not open it. Apparently this one is pretty nasty.

It will not only erase everything on your hard drive, but it will also
delete anything on disks within 20 feet of your computer. It demagnetizes
the stripes on ALL of your credit cards.

It reprograms your ATM access code, screws up the tracking on your VCR
and uses subspace field  harmonics to scratch any CD's you attempt to play.

It will program your phone auto dial to call only your mother-in-law's
number.

This virus will mix antifreeze into your fish tank.

It will drink all your beer. (For Gods sake, man, are you listening?!?!)

It will leave dirty socks on the coffee table  when you are expecting
company.

It will replace your shampoo with Nair and your Nair with Rogaine, all
the while dating your current boy/girlfriend behind your back and billing
their hotel rendezvous to your Visa card.

It will cause you to run with scissors and throw things in a way
that is only fun until  someone loses an eye.

It will rewrite your backup files, changing all your active verbs to passive
tense and incorporating undetectable misspellings which grossly change the
interpretations of key sentences.

If the "Badtimes" message is opened in a Windows95/98 environment,
it will leave the toilet seat up and leave your hair dryer plugged in
dangerously close to a full bathtub.

It will not only remove the forbidden tags from your mattresses
and pillows, it will also refill your skim milk with whole milk.

** WARN AS MANY PEOPLE AS YOU CAN.**
