Ok, here's your ticket
for speeding on the Information Highway,
 and reckless emailing.

Stand up against
the wall.  Hold still.  This'll just take a sec.

Ok.  We're done.  You can call your kid now and tell him 
to come bail you outta Internet Jail.  And yeah, he's gonna laugh, 'cuz he probably already knows these types of traps exist on the net.... and how to avoid 'em.  So take some internet-driving lessons from your kids.  

 

Or read on... 

 

Does poor, missing 
Penny Brown 
look familiar?

No, you didn't see her
picture at the Post Office, or 
on a milk carton... 
because it's NOT TRUE.

It's just your average COMPELLING email hoax.

 

Moral of the story... Christians... 
YES, please continue to err on the side of mercy if you just don't know what to do.  But NO, don't get caught with egg on your face unnecessarily.

 

A Tip From Sergeant Friday:  "Cut/Paste Saves Face"

Just cut/paste a unique phrase from any suspicious email, into your favorite search-engine (Google?).  And see if an anti-hoax page comes up.

 

Try "Penny Brown".  See the sample below...

Or try "Madeline Murray O'Hare"

See?  Simple, huh?

Don't you wish all the devil's traps were so easy to avoid?  I do.  
Lord knows I've been caught in my share of 'em.

Got any tips to share?

"We are not unaware of the devil's schemes."
(or are we?)

 

Btw, if you can't always call your kid when you're in trouble, 
Remember to save your dime to call...
"God's Phone#"
:  
"WhenYouNeedSomeone.com".

 

Ok, go thou, and speed no more.

Oh, and btw, if you want to save this URL somewhere (http://NewLifeInTheFastLane.com/ticket.htm), 
and use it every time one of your friends sends you Penny's picture or some other dumb hoax... they may be embarrassed for a moment,
(weren't we all?) 
but in the long run, they just may be '
eternally grateful'.
