THE MAGICAL GRAPEFRUIT OF LOVE
This is the magical grapefruit of love. It has been bequeathed
upon you by someone who thinks you are really cool. This person
might be your boyfriend, girlfriend, lover, pal, homie, hausfrau,
neighbor, or someone else you don't even know. This person finds you
rather interesting, and just generally thinks you're a pretty good
excuse to be alive. This is merely a token of affection for you to
wonder at and appreciate. The proper response upon receipt of this
magical grapefruit of love is a hug, or a message of thanks, if this
person is too far away to hug within a week of receipt. Basically,
the magical grapefruit of love is a way to say "Hey, you're really
cool, and I want you to know that." Sorry if you were disappointed that
there is no actual citrus fruit contained in this letter. Unfortunetly, at
the time of writing, that miracle of science that allows grapefruit to
travel through telephone lines has not been perfected. But be consoled by
the fact that someone thinks you're a really cool guy/gal and would most
likely help you out if you had a flat tire somewhere in the same state (or
within a one or two hour radius, depending on the size of your state).
The sender of the magical grapefruit of love only asks one thing of you ---
(besides the aforementioned hug) that you bequeath this grapefruit of
love on someone else. The magical grapefruit of love grows in power
as it is shared and someday you may receive this magical citrus
entity again. Send it on. Remember the elation you felt the first
time you received it? If you send it on, you may feel this again.
This is not a chain letter. Nothing bad will happen to you if you
don't send it on, but think of the bright spot it might put in the day of
someone you think is extra marvelous.
