Good news!
  According to an email I just received, we all stand to make oodles of money:

"To all of my friends, I do not usually forward messages, but this is from
my good friend [name removed by me] and she it WILL work."

  Well, with a testimonial like that, how can we lose?  Apparently every
time we forward the email about the forthcoming secret merger of AOL, Intel,
Microsoft, Apple, NASA, Nabisco, The XFL, and a host of other large
companies (I may have unintentionally added a few...) Bill Gates himself
will send us a check.  This is great!  Now I have a foolproof way to fund my
brick addiction!

     Dave!
