Isn't it interesting how chain letters say to make a certain amount of copies
of the letter and ship them out to people? Isn't it interesting how annoyed
you can get at chain letters with their promises of good luck on compliance
and threats of dis-kharmal effects on non-compliance?
Isn't it interesting that the letters say that you must mail a certain number
of copies out to people, but they don't say DIFFERENT people?
What does this tell you? It tells you that you now have the power to keep
people from deluding themselves into visons of grandeur and to stop this awful
trend of chain letters.
Here's what you do:
1: Make the required amount of copies that the letter specifies.
2: Send them all to the person who sent you the chain letter in the first
place.
Now you have:
1: Made it virtually impossible for the sender to counter all the letters he
gets with more chain letters. (If he has to send out 16 copies, and each
recipient sends 16 back to him, then he receives 256 copies of the letter
and has to send out 4096 more copies!!!)
2: Complied with the chain letter, and you should soon be the recipient of
good luck or whatever the letter has to offer!
3: Avoided insulting you friends/co-workers with this garbage. :)
What have you got to lose? It's a Win-Win situation there! And there's hardly
any hassle involved!
Stop this trend and take control of your life again!
Hope this letter has been of amusement to you all, and you DON'T even have to
send out copies to people!
