I got a chain letter today and thought I'd share with
everyone (well, it made me laugh).
___________________________________________________________
THIS IS A CHOCOLATE EXCHANGE
That's right, a chocolate exchange. Send a bar of
chocolate to the person listed as No. 1 below and send a
copy of this letter to six of your friends. My name is No.
2, but will become No. 1 and yours will be No. 2. Only my
name and yours should appear when you send this letter on.
This is not a chain letter, it is for fun. If you cannot
do this within 5 days, please let me know as it is unfair
to those who have participated. One jiffy bag will mail
nicely. You should receive 36 bars of chocolate. It will
be fun to see where they all come from and the variety you
receive. Seldom does anyone drop out as we all love
chocolate.
Remember, 36 bars of chocolate for the price of one, I
challenge you to find a better bargain!
No.1 No.2

This is quite a good one ... either I send the guy some
chocolate or else appear a real party pooper (sigh). I
even have to phone my friend up and explain why I won't
take part - so I can't even just chuck it in the bin. Have
you *ever* seen such a cunning virus? (major religions
excluded).
