What you just sent was a chain letter. These are explicitly against
the Rules of Use at a number of sites, including MIT (where the
humor@mit.edu list is). One of the main reasons for this is the fact
that they can become an immense drain on the systems resources. That
is a particularly bad problem now, at the end of the term when usage
is at a peak. Please don't send letters like this. And to everyone
who is getting this through a blind-carbon-copy, please don't forward
the "snowball".
