The mother of all emails...

My sister is big into the forwards. She really enjoys the religious ones. I don't even read them anymore, just look and see if it has been forwarded more than 10 times and toss it.

That is my usual course of action as well. But this was a cleverly disguised 'Fwd' email labelled 'Brad, Read This'. I should have known.

I responded with the snopes.com link and an actual Andy Rooney quote where he asks if the ten commandment supporters would support the Koran being placed next to or in place of their displays.

Oddly enough, I haven't heard back from Mother Dear.

GC- you are outpacing my mojo-bestowability. I (once again) owe you.

My mom is so funny sometimes. She sends me this email with about a thousand (not really a thousand, Leo) FWD's all over it. At the very bottom it says "Instructions for Life" and the rest of the 10 pages are pale yellow lettering on a white background. I can't read a single word. Ah, somethings never change. Yes, I can highlight it to read it, but I just thought it was funny.

AND when I tried to download it this is what I got:
