I Fell For This

I usually just delete annoying forwarded e-mails, but with my dad's passing, I'm feeling a little more mellow these days, so I actually indulged.

Feel free to e-mail me your version:

This is what you're supposed to do...copy (not forward) this entire
e-mail and paste it into a new email. Change all of the answers so
that they apply to you. Then, send this to a whole bunch of people
you know *INCLUDING* the person who sent it to you. The theory is
that you will learn a lot of little known facts about your family &
