    Virus Warning from CDC

    Dear All,

    The Center for Disease Control (CDC) has issued a medical alert about a highly contagious, potentially dangerous virus that is transmitted orally, by hand, and even electronically.

    This virus is called Weary Overload Recreational Killer (WORK). If you receive WORK from your boss, any of your colleagues, or anyone else via any means whatsoever - DO NOT TOUCH IT.

    This virus will wipe out your private life completely.

    If you should come into contact with WORK you should immediately leave the premises. Visit the nearest super market and purchase one or both of the antidotes - Work Isolating Neutralizer Extract (WINE) and Bothersome Employer Elimination Re-booter (BEER).

    Take the antidote repeatedly until WORK has been completely eliminated from your system.

    You should immediately forward this medical alert to your friends.

    If you do not have friends, you have already been infected and WORK is controlling your life.

    I can not afford the antidotes as I have been out of the "WORK" for several weeks now. Interview today at noon.

    Great, I spend 4 months visiting 6 doctors, and here I could've just come to you. Jeez Geoff, I wish you would've posted this earlier!

    I am 65 and have developed a certain immunity to it. But, before I became immune, I was tired all of the time However, now, even the mention of W.O.R.K makes me feel re-tired

    Thanks for the warning. I'm currently recovering from a severe case of it myself.
