<p class="MsoNormal">Stop sending me e-mails that tell me to boycott <strong>Exxon</strong>, <strong>Mobile</strong>, or <strong>7-11</strong> in hopes that a “mass walkout” would force them to lower the price of gas. Trust me, their powers far outweigh our ability to <em>not</em> consume gas. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">While we are at it… </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><em><strong>Bill Gates/Microsoft/AOL</strong> are not giving cash away (even if the e-mail says “I got a check”). </em></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><em></em></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><em><strong>Chevy’s</strong>, <strong>Denny’s</strong>, and <strong>Burger</strong> <strong>King</strong> are not giving away free food for “clicking here.” </em></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><em></em></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><em>You cannot travel around the world for free if you “sign up” now. </em></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><em></em></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><em>The <strong>Nigerian</strong>, the <strong>Orphane</strong>, and the <strong>Daughter of a Sheik </strong>do not have $168 billion they need to wire to your bank account (no matter how much they say they “trust” you). <span id="more-59"></span></em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><em></em></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><em>Similarly, no one who has a mine of diamonds needs your help. </em></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><em></em></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><em>A tooth left in <strong>Coke</strong> overnight does not dissolve. </em></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><em></em></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><em>You don’t get more gas for your money if it is cold (the tanks are under ground!). </em></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><em></em></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">And one that you probably didn’t know… </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Mr. Ed was not really a horse. He was a Zebra (which, when shooting in black and white, no one could tell). </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><em>There…that should free up a few billion e-mails on the net each week. </em></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><em>Now, forward this blog to 10 friends..</em></strong></p>
