Fwd: A Valentine story for all you hopelessly romantic people! (fwd)

[Craig Shipley]

Hi kiddies!

This story has been shamelessly lifted from either CHICKEN SOUP FOR THE SOUL
VOL III or VOL IV and is a true story (yes, I read these books; they are
great for a lift when the whole world seems like it is populated with total
idiots / morons / a**holes/ etc.).  To say that you will be cursed if you
don't pass it along, well, IMHO the moron that added that bilgewash should
be sued for illegal reproduction (or maybe they should slap that charge on
the individuals' parents! >:-) ).  (Sheesh, did I say "sued"? Me, suggesting
a lawyer be sicced on someone, let me take my temperature...)

It is a nice story; enjoy it and don't worry about some bogus "curse".  I
look at chain letters, which this is, the same way that I look at the 17
billionth repost of MAKE MONEY FAST, with complete and total disregard for
the supposed outcomes if I do not act/react.

Some peoples' children...

>Hey thanks Jean, that's a great story.  I must concur, however with Alex.
