I got this email and thought it was odd, I know I'm not a woman, but this is just cruel:

 

PLEASE PASS THIS ALONG TO ALL YOUR WOMEN FRIENDS AND PLEASE BE ALERT AND
BE AWARE. IF YOU ARE A MAN AND RECEIVE THIS, PASS IT ON TO YOUR WOMEN FRIENDS.

************************************************************************

This is something that happened to us on the way back from vacation last
spring. I didn't think much of it until now. The reason we were a little
suspicious is we had been riding in a jeep all day with 100 degrees temps and we
stopped at a truck stop for something to drink.

When I was leaving, a young girl followed me out and asked what kind of
cologne I was wearing. Well, after 7 hours in the car sweating, I don't think
you could tell I was or was not wearing any cologne. We just got in the jeep and
said no thanks.

Then it was about 3 weeks ago, I was at a service station in Birmingham
getting gas. It was about 9:30 pm I was approached by 2 men and 2 women in a
car. The man that was driving asked me 'What kind of perfume do you wear?' I was
a bit confused and I asked him 'Why?' He said, 'We are selling some name brand
perfumes, at cheap prices.' I said I had no money.

He then reached out of the car and handed me paper that was laminated;
it had many perfumes on it. I looked quickly at it and gave it back. I said, I
have no money. He said it is OK, we take check, cash,or credit cards. Then the
people in the car began to laugh.

I just got in my car and said no thanks.
Then I received this e-mail yesterday and it sent chills up my spine.
Please read this. It is no joke. Here is the e-mail I was sent-

Dear Friends:
I know not all of you are women that I am sending this to, but am hoping
you will share this with your wives, daughters, mothers, sisters, etc. Our world
seems to be getting crazier by the day. Pipe bombs in mailboxes and sickos in
parking lots with perfume. Be careful. I was approached yesterday afternoon
around 5:30 PMin the Walmart parking lot by two males asking what kind of
perfume I was wearing. Then they asked if I'd like to sample some fabulous scent
they were willing to sell me at a very reasonable rate. I probably would have
agreed had I not received an e-mail warning of a "Wanna smell this neat
perfume?" scam.

The men continued to stand between parked cars, I guess to wait for
someone else to hit on. I stopped a lady going towards them, pointing at them
and told her about how I was sent an e-mail at work about someone walking up to
you at the malls or in parking lots and asking you to SNIFF PERFUME that they
are selling at a cheap price.

THIS IS NOT PERFUME...IT IS ETHER!

When you sniff it, you'll pass out.They'll take your wallet, your
valuables and heaven knows what else

If it were not for this e-mail, I probably would have sniffed the
'perfume' but thanks to the generosity of an e-mailing friend, I was spared
whatever might have happened to me. I wanted to do the same for you.

This is what my friend that works for Aetna wrote:

Ladies, this happened to me yesterday and I didn't smell the perfume
either, thanks to this email. This is true. Believe me, I know. I was over by
Big Lots in the parking lot at lunch time when I was approached. So either day
or night, it does not matter. There were 3 guys together when I was approached.
I called the police when I got back to my desk. Like the email says above, LET
EVERYONE KNOW ABOUT THIS - YOUR FRIENDS, FAMILY, CO-WORKERS, whomever. It helped
me. The first thing that popped into my head was this e-mail warning

 

The world we live in now is awful.

That story isn't true, it's an urban legend.

Although, if I saw Bolo in a parking lot trying to sell perfume, I still wouldn't smell it....

Hey KBC, was just skimming your site... What's a Guest Dook? %)

Friday, April 15, 2005 at 12:36:04 AM

Lol, ya, I signed the "Guest Dook" ;) , I couldn't load the video though, I don't have the plugin...

I use multi-billion dollar military satellites to find tupperware hidden in the woods... What do YOU do?

Friday, April 15, 2005 at 1:21:37 AM

Wow, thanks for the compliments everyone. :)

I had some down time in December and decided to finally learn how to make a website. I figured that if my 10 year old nephew already had 3 up, maybe it was time for me to do something. :o

Anyway, I took a look and realized I had a few images mixed up and image heights too short. It was squeezing the B down so that it looked like a D.

I think it's fixed. Hopefully it's a Guest Book now.

...on the other hand, how many people have a Guest Dook? Maybe I'll switch it back. XD
