                            Virus Warning!


Folks, I don't normally send out virus warnings, but this one is extremely
serious. Please read very carefully and take care!

If you receive an email entitled "Crazy Times" delete it immediately. Do not
open it! Apparently this one is pretty nasty.  It will not only erase
everything on your hard drive, but it will also delete anything on disks
within 20 feet of your computer.

It demagnetizes the stripes on ALL of your credit cards.

It reprograms your ATM access code, messes up the tracking on your VCR and uses
subspace field harmonics to scratch any CD's you attempt to play.

It will re-calibrate your refrigerator's coolness settings so all your ice
cream melts and your milk curdles.

It will program your phone autodial to call only your mother-in-law's number.

This virus will mix antifreeze into your fish tank.

It will drink all your beer.

It will leave dirty socks on the coffee table when you are expecting company.

Its radioactive emissions will cause your toe jam and bellybutton fuzz (be
honest, you have some) to migrate behind your ears.

It will replace your shampoo with hair removal liquid and your hair removal
liquid with a hair growth accelerant, all while dating your current
boy/girlfriend behind your back and billing their hotel rendezvous to your Visa
card.

It will cause you to run with scissors and throw things in a way that is only
fun until someone loses an eye.

It will give you Dutch Elm Disease and Tinea.

It will rewrite your backup files, changing all your active verbs to passive
tense and incorporating undetectable misspellings which grossly change the
interpretations of key sentences.

If the "Crazy Times" message is opened in a Windows 95 environment, it will
leave the toilet seat up and leave your hair dryer plugged in dangerously close
to a full bathtub.

It will not only remove the tags from your mattresses and pillows, but it will
also refill your skimmed milk with whole milk.

It will replace all your luncheon meat with Spam.

It will molecularly rearrange your cologne or perfume, causing it to smell like
dill pickles.(Remember Brut 33 ?)

It is insidious and subtle.

It is dangerous and terrifying to behold.

It is also a rather interesting shade of mauve.

These are just a few signs of infection.
