The Sunday Soap Box

Posted on February 15th, 2009 by Urbain


If there’s one type of email that I would have to say I really and truly cannot stand, it’s the one that goes something like this:

  1. Read the “lucky” message in the email.
  2. Forward the email onto 10 friends and receive wonderful blessings, such as a surprise check for $10,000 or whatever.
  3. Do not forward the email and your life turns to sh_t.  You’ll have a car wreck.  Your roof will cave in.  You’ll stop breathing…forever.

Not Guru as I am, the first time I got one of these, I dutifully sent it off to ten friends.

No big windfall fell my way.

Then I felt guilty. After all, according to The Secret, thoughts manifest into things.

What if bad stuff actually happened to my friends who didn’t forward the email to ten other people?

So the next one that came, I didn’t forward it.  And nothing bad happened to me as a result.

I get at least one of those “read and forward on” types of emails a week, and sometimes a lot more.  Fortunately, they’re balanced with funny emails.

A cute one arrived the other day where a cartoon guy mounts his soap box and rants about those awful “forward this onto ten people” emails and some other totally stupid emails that you’re sure to recognize.  Enjoy!
