World dumbest chain mail warning doohickey


My girlfriend got this from an acquaintance. I haven’t changed it at all, except to mask incriminating headers.

I should mention that I get a dozen or so similar things per week, from well meaning relatives and acquaintances. I usually delete them instantly, or sometimes I’ll Snopes ‘em and help snuff the meme in question, but this one stands as such a beacon of, well, something, that I had to share.

When he got in trouble in the ring, [Ali] imagined a door swung open and inside he could see neon, orange, and green lights blinking, and bats blowing trumpets and alligators blowing trombones, and he could hear snakes screaming. Weird masks and actors' clothes hung on the wall, and if he stepped across the sill and reached for them, he knew that he was committing himself to destruction. -- George Plimpton
