Getting To Know Your Friends
My friend S.K. just sent me the email below. I love this kind of stuff. I’ve pasted the complete email below, reflecting my answers to the questions:
Welcome to the 2007 edition of getting to know your Friends. What you are supposed to do is copy (NOT Forward) this entire e-mail and paste it onto a new e-mail that you’ll send. Change all the answers so they apply to you, and then send this to your friends including the person who sent it to you. The theory is that you will learn a lot of little things about your friends that you might not have known.
