Ok, we all know about e-mail forwarding and how ludicrous it is -- at least most of us -- I happen to know several forwarders who need to take an etiquette class. What gives me the biggest laugh is the wrap-up at the end after you've looked at some cute pictures, or read a touching appeal for money from a kid dying of a rare disease in England, or even signed a petition to make sure the government doesn't start charging a fee for each e-mail you send...

There's the straightforward "send this to 10 friends or a piano will fall on your head." Or the "you'll receive a check from Bill Gates worth five cents for every person you forward this to." But my favorites are the religious wrap-ups that say something along the lines of "you forward cute pictures of cats to all your friends, why won't you forward this special blessing? Remember if you deny Christ now, He will deny you later."

Along those lines, my sister-in-law just sent me a great one. So as not to besmirch her good character, I should add that I asked her to forward this one after she told me about it because I wanted to share it here:

"You don't have to share this with anybody, no one will know whether you did or not, but you will know and so will He."

I, of course, immediately deleted the e-mail.
