An ode to rediculous e-mails

I usually do not read the numerous chain emails that people send to me but I stumbled upon this gem in my inbox this morning. It was too funny not to share.

As we progress through 2012, I want to thank everyone for your educational e-mails over the past year. 

 

As a result, now:     

 

·       I can no longer open a bathroom door without using a paper towel, nor let the waitress put lemon slices in my ice water without worrying about the bacteria on the lemon peel.

·       I can’t sit down on a hotel bedspread because I can only imagine what has happened on it since it was last washed.

·       I have trouble shaking hands with someone who has been driving because the number one pastime while driving alone is picking ones nose.

·       Eating a little snack sends me on a guilt trip because I can only imagine how many gallons of trans fats I have consumed over the years.

·       I can’t touch any woman’s handbag for fear she has placed it on the floor of a public toilet.

·       I MUST SEND MY SPECIAL THANKS for the email about rat poo in the glue on envelopes because I now have to use a wet sponge with every envelope that needs sealing. ALSO, now I have to scrub the top of every can I open for the same reason.

·       I can’t have a drink in a bar because I fear I’ll wake up in a bathtub full of ice with my kidneys gone.

·       I can’t eat at KFC because their chickens are actually horrible mutant freaks with no eyes, feet or feathers.

·       I can’t use cancer-causing deodorants even though I smell like a water buffalo on a hot day.

·       THANKS TO YOU I have learned that my prayers only get answered if I forward an e-mail to seven of my friends and make a wish within five minutes.

·       BECAUSE OF YOUR CONCERN, I no longer drink Coca Cola because it can remove toilet stains.

·       I no longer buy gas without taking someone along to watch the car, so a serial killer doesn’t crawl in my back seat when I’m filling up.

·       I no longer use Cling Wrap in the microwave because it causes seven different types of cancer.

·       AND THANKS FOR LETTING ME KNOW I can’t boil a cup of water in the microwave anymore because it will blow up in my face, disfiguring me for life.

·       I no longer go to the movies because I could be pricked with a needle infected with AIDS when I sit down.

·       I no longer go to shopping centers because someone will drug me with a perfume sample and rob me.

·       And I no longer answer the phone because someone will ask me to dial a number for which I will get a huge phone bill with calls to Jamaica, Uganda, Singapore and Uzbekistan.

·       THANKS TO YOU I can’t use any one’s toilet but mine because a big black snake could be lurking under the seat and cause me instant death when it bites my butt.

·       AND THANKS TO YOUR GREAT ADVICE I can’t ever pick up a coin dropped in the car park because it was probably placed there by a sex molester waiting to grab me as I bend over.

·       Finally, I can’t do any gardening because I’m afraid I’ll get bitten by the Violin Spider and my hand will fall off.

Bill Murray on Gilda Radner:
“Gilda got married and went away. None of us saw her anymore. There was one good thing: Laraine had a party one night, a great party at her house. And I ended up being the disk jockey. She just had forty-fives, and not that many, so you really had to work the music end of it. There was a collection of like the funniest people in the world at this party. Somehow Sam Kinison sticks in my brain. The whole Monty Python group was there, most of us from the show, a lot of other funny people, and Gilda. Gilda showed up and she’d already had cancer and gone into remission and then had it again, I guess. Anyway she was slim. We hadn’t seen her in a long time. And she started doing, “I’ve got to go,” and she was just going to leave, and I was like, “Going to leave?” It felt like she was going to really leave forever.So we started carrying her around, in a way that we could only do with her. We carried her up and down the stairs, around the house, repeatedly, for a long time, until I was exhausted. Then Danny did it for a while. Then I did it again. We just kept carrying her; we did it in teams. We kept carrying her around, but like upside down, every which way—over your shoulder and under your arm, carrying her like luggage. And that went on for more than an hour—maybe an hour and a half—just carrying her around and saying, “She’s leaving! This could be it! Now come on, this could be the last time we see her. Gilda’s leaving, and remember that she was very sick—hello?”We worked all aspects of it, but it started with just, “She’s leaving, I don’t know if you’ve said good-bye to her.” And we said good-bye to the same people ten, twenty times, you know. And because these people were really funny, every person we’d drag her up to would just do like five minutes on her, with Gilda upside down in this sort of tortured position, which she absolutely loved. She was laughing so hard we could have lost her right then and there.It was just one of the best parties I’ve ever been to in my life. I’ll always remember it. It was the last time I saw her.”

“If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is because everything would be what it isn’t. And contrary-wise; what it is it wouldn’t be, and what it wouldn’t be, it would. You see?” - Alice in Wonderland
