I find them an absolute bane

It always seems to be younger members of the church who fall for them because of the moral blackmail in them. It has now spilled over on to fun walls (Or is that funspace now ) on Facebook.

These things just fill up servers.

Other things I hate are pointless petitions, like sign against drunk driving. What are they trying to achieve, it is already illegal!!!!

The best place for these things is the recycle bin

What I tend to do, when someone sends me, and umpteen other people a cute story or a warning, is I go to the relevant page on Snopes and send them back the link. Sometimes they get the message.

Although one time I got told off because these poor little kiddy winks were just trying to show their concern about an issue.

Give me strength

Most.Annoying.Things.EVER. I hate them sooo much!!!! ARGHHHH!!!! I tell people if they send me them on MSN, I'll block them, no matter who it is. So they get one warning. Anything afterwards is an automatic block. I'd love to find whoever starts these things and strangle them. ¬¬ It's those sad people that decay the forums and websites we enjoy today. If you are one of these people, PLEASE stop it! For the good of man kind. And me.

BILLY CONNOLLY'S CHAIN LETTER

Hello, my name is Billy and I suffer from guilt for not forwarding 50 billion ****ing chain letters sent to me by people who actually believe if you send them on, a poor six year old girl in Scotland with a breast on her forehead will be able to raise enough money to have it removed before her redneck parents sell her to a travelling freak show. And, do you honestly believe that Bill Gates is going to give you, and everyone to whom you send "his" email, $1000? How stupid are we?

Ooooh, looky here! If I scroll down this page and make a wish, I'll get laid by a model I just happen to run into the next day! What a bunch of bullshit.

Maybe the evil chain letter leprechauns will come into my house and sodomize me in my sleep for not continuing a chain letter that was started by St Peter in 5AD and brought to this country by midget pilgrim stowaways on the Endeavour.

**** 'em!! If you're going to forward something, at least send me something mildly amusing. I've seen all the "send this to 10 of your closest friends, and this poor, wretched excuse for a human being will somehow receive a nickel from some omniscient being" forwards about 90 times. I don't ****ing care. Show a little intelligence and think about what you're actually contributing to by sending out these forwards. Chances are, it's our own unpopularity.

The point being? If you get some chain letter that's threatening to leave you shagless or luckless for the rest of your life, delete it. If it's funny, send it on. Don't piss people off by making them feel guilty about a leper in Botswana with no teeth who has been tied to the arse of a dead elephant for 27 years and whose only salvation is the 5 cents per letter he'll receive if you forward this email.

Now forward this to everyone you know. Otherwise, tomorrow morning your underwear will turn carnivorous and will consume your genitals.


Have a nice day.
Billy Connolly

P.S: Send me 15 bucks and then **** off

Nooooo, never.

They're just boring. Though if a random doll DOES come to me in the middle of the night I will happily return the chain mail

I hate then. Once, I got one through my door saying send it a ridiculous amount of people before a certain time or ill die. In the end I just burnt it. I know it sounds ridiculous but you know, they can be reallyy annoying when you are expecting somethin else in the post!
