Perhaps some is drivel, but I have the overdue phone bill that kept coming from a phone we disconnected that said we owed $0.00 and that penalties would be forth coming. After 2 success attempts to solve via phone, I finally sent in a cheque for 0.00. But here is the kicker. I still have the REFUND cheque they sent back for .... you guessed it $0.00!

This is all true. I got it off the Internet: I know this guy whose neighbor, a young man named Richard Brunner, was home recovering from having been served a rat in his bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken He had a date with girlfriend Francesca Irina Deeyenda in the midst of which he fell asleep, awakening to find he was in his bathtub full of ice When he got out of the tub he realized that HIS KIDNEY HAD BEEN STOLEN. He wanted to call the police, but he was afraid to use his phone because it was connected to his computer and if he called 911, a virus would destroy his hard drive. He knew this was true because he was a computer programmer who created a program to prevent a global disaster in which all the computers conspire to distribute the $500 Neiman Marcus cookie recipe under the leadership of Bill Gates. (I read this last week in a mass e-mail from BILL GATES HIMSELF, who was also promising me a free Disneyworld vacation and $5,000 if I would forward the e-mail to everyone I know.) Anyway, he tried to call 911 from a pay phone, 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, actually, 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 he shape of an angel (if you get it and forward it to twenty people you will have good luck, but if you don't forward it within an hour of reading, 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 ran out of gas because in complying with the great American gas out, he didn't buy gas the day before. While stalled on the side of the road, he noticed another car driving along without headlights on. To get help, he flashed his lights at him and was promptly shot as part of a gang initiation.
