Pass this note on ! Do not discard ! :

This paper has been sent to you for no particular reason. The original is in some place on my desk I think. It has been around the world once. You will receive average luck within four days after receiving this letter and should send it on if the mood strikes you. Send this note to people that you think should get it, only if you find the time. Do not send money to these people, unless you owe them some cash from the bar or last weeks lunch. DO NOT KEEP THIS NOTE unless you want your luck to remain the same, otherwise it will remain the same.

A Pan American Officer got this note and forwarded it on, 3 days later he found his TV remote in the same place he left it before embarking on a flight! While in the Philippines, a man lost his wife in the supermarket for 15 minutes because he did not send this letter on.

Please send 20 copies of this letter to various people and see what happens. It might amaze you!!! But then again I doubt it will. Do note that Joe Williams of Hicksville Ohio received this letter and sent it on to his friends, 5 days latter he found his car keys in a coat he hadn't worn since the day before! Last fall this letter was received by a lady in California... she placed the note in a folder in her e-mail box and failed to forward it on in time... she was plagued with every day problems... the same ones that always struck her... she the realized that she never sent this note on, after doing so she bought a new car!

Keep It:

Once there was a millionaire, who collected live alligators. He kept them in the pool in back of his mansion. The millionaire also had a beautiful daughter who was single. One day he decides to throw a huge party, and during the party he announces, "My dear guests...I have a proposition to every man here. I will give one million dollars or my daughter to the man who can swim across this pool full of alligators and emerge unharmed!"

As soon as he finished his last word, there was the sound of a large SPLASH!! There was one guy in the pool swimming with all he could...the crowd cheered him on as he kept stroking. Finally, he made it to the other side unharmed. The millionaire was impressed.

He said, "My boy that was incredible! Fantastic! I didn't think it could be done! Well I must keep my end of the bargain...which do you want, my daughter or the one million dollars?"

The guy says, "Listen, I don't want your money! And I don't want your daughter! I want the person who pushed me in that WATER!!!."

Cured :

A man goes into a drug store and asks the pharmacist if he can give him something for the hiccups. The pharmacist promptly reaches out and slaps the mans face. (Whack)

"What did you do that for?" the man asks.

"Well, you don't have the hiccups anymore do you?"

The man says, "No, but my wife out in the car still does!"

ABROMOWITZ ALONE ON AN ISLAND

A liner, cruising down the Caribbean, noted an island in the distance from which a thin line of smoke was curling upward. This was not in itself  surprising, but it was clearly marked on the charts as an uninhabited island. Use of the spyglass made it clear that some sort of habitation existed there, so the liner heaved to and sent out a small boat to investigate.

As the boat approached the island, the officer on board couldn't help but note a small but very neat pier. On it was an elderly man, dressed in faultless yachting costume.

The elderly man greeted the officer enthusiastically when he landed. "Sir," he said, "my name is Abromowitz, and I have been here ten years, ever since I was marooned here -- the only survivor of a ship sunk in a storm."

"The only survivor?" said the officer. "But I see numerous houses here."

"I built them myself," said Abromowitz, "so I could have the feeling of living in a community. I also built this pier, and an electric generating plant run by water power. I have a small textile factory where I produce my clothes, including these which I am wearing. I have everything I need here."

"But this is remarkable," said the officer. "Unbelievable!"

Abromowitz shrugged. "If you really want to see something, come with me." He led the officer to one corner of the island and there they came upon a miniature synagogue. "In this temple," said Abromowitz, "I pray every Sabbath and every holy day. I don't have the necessary ten men to make it official, but it gives me great comfort nevertheless."

The men from the ship were more astonished than ever. The temple was small but it had pews, a balcony, a seven-branched candlestick, a recess for the Torah, and seemed in every way to be neat and tasteful.

Drinking in the obvious stupefaction of the officer, Abromowitz said, "Let me show you something else."

The officer followed him to another corner of the island, and there they found another synagogue, larger and considerably more elaborate than the first.

The officer said, "But if you are the only one on the island, and you use the first temple you showed me, what is this?"

"This," said Abromowitz, with a gesture of contempt, "is the temple I wouldn't go to for anything."

I was sitting on the sofa with my teenage son, discussing his day at school. "Mom, he said, "there's going to be a dance at the school this Friday and it's going to be formal. Could I get a new pair of sneakers?"
