Beware of the "work" virus!!!!
There is a new virus going around, called "work". If you receive any sort of "work" at all, whether via email, Internet or simply handed to you by a colleague ... DO NOT OPEN IT.
This has been circulating around for months and those who have been tempted to open "work" or even look at "work" have found that their social life is deleted and their brain ceases to function properly.
If you do encounter "work" via email or are faced with any "work" at all, you need to purge the virus by opening several beers. The "work" should automatically be forgotten by your brain. If you receive "work" in paper-document form, simply lift the document and drag the "work" to your garbage can. Put on your shoes and go to the nearest bar with two friends and order three beers . After repeating this action 14 times, you will find that "work" will no longer be of any relevance to you.
Send this message to everyone in your address book. If you do NOT have anyone in your address book, then it is possible that the "work" virus has already corrupted your life.
