At long last, hooray! I never thought I'd see this in one of those pass-around e-mails:
And if you don't send this to at least 4 people - who cares?

especially when it doesn't end with some body part may fall off
or other inane threat.

I usually delete that line before I forward the email

As do I. Or ones like "something crazy will walk across
your screen" (never happens), or something great will happen
at 3 PM tomorrow. All get deleted before forwarding.
