I know this guy whose neighbor, a young man, was home recovering
from having been served a rat in his bucket of KFC. One day he went to
sleep and when he awoke he was in his bathtub and it was full of ice and
he was sore all over. When he got out of the tub he realized that HIS
KIDNEYS HAD BEEN STOLEN and he saw a note on his mirror that said, "Call
911!"

He was afraid to use his phone because it was connected to his
computer, and there was a virus on his computer that would destroy his
hard drive if he opened an e-mail entitled "Join the crew!" He knew it
wasn't a hoax because he himself was a computer programmer who was
working on software to save us from Armageddon when the year 2000 rolls
around. His program will prevent a global disaster in which all the
computers get together and distribute the $600 Neiman-Marcus cookie
recipe under the leadership of Bill Gates. (It's true - I read it all
last week in a mass e-mail from BILL GATES HIMSELF, who was also
promising me a free Disney World vacation and $5,000 if I would forward
the e-mail to everyone I know.

The poor man then tried to call 911 from a pay phone to report his
missing kidneys, but reaching into the coin-return slot he got jabbed
with an HIV-infected needle around which was wrapped a note that said,
"Welcome to the world of AIDS."

Luckily he was only a few blocks from the hospital - the one where
that little boy who is dying of cancer is, the one whose last wish is for
everyone in the world to send him an e-mail and the American Cancer
Society has agreed to pay him a nickel for every e-mail he receives. I
sent him two e-mails and one of them was a bunch of x's and o's in the
shape of an angel (if you get it and forward it to 20 people you will
have good luck but 10 people you will only have OK luck and if you send
it to less than 10 people you will have BAD LUCK FOR SEVEN YEARS).

So anyway, the poor guy tried to drive himself to the hospital, but
on the way he noticed another car driving along without its lights on. To
be helpful, he flashed his lights at him and was promptly shot as part of
a gang initiation.



And it's a little-known fact that the Y1K problem caused the Dark
Ages.
