What would you do? Your friends, family and sometimes strangers send you emails the chain-letter types that require you to forward it on to 10 others or the “bad” luck will fall upon you. Worse bad luck then if you had sent the $5,000 to South Africa to secure your multi million dollar winnings that you somehow had acquired.

Some of these "chin emails" are just stupid jokes or other nonsensical junk mail, not all of about good luck.

If any of you don't know what a "chain email" is ~ please send my your email address via DM and I'll provide you a copy of one


Note, this time you have multiple choice answers,,,,

I don't respond and delete them all. I do not care to be imposed upon, or made to feel obligated to continue this assinine e-mail spam charade. I don't believe in imposing on others either.

I know what you mean, when my neighbor signs on, suddenly I get bombarded with emails like that-send this to twenty people or you will burn in HELL!!! Or send this and a miracle will happen at 11:03 tomorrow...

Anyway, I send it back to the sender, like it always says to do; that's good enough.

I see the light. At last I know why Bill Gates all the money and all I have is good looks. I've been deleting my opportunity for wealth.

I hate these emails and everyone knows not to send them to me anymore. I did receive this one a while ago that I did pass on though. I've altered it because it had a naughty word, but it's still obvious what it said, so I'm sorry if I offend anyone but I thought this was great.

I hate these!

I sit right next to a girl that sends me every single one. Especially those that say "if you forward this to 500 people a new picture will appear on your screen"
After she sends me one of these, I always ask her if they work....can we all guess what the answer is? And yet she still doesn't get it.

This is me. The lady I work used to send them to me all the time. I think she got the hint. Haven't gotten one in quite sometime.
