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'.
