Fast Forwards

People should operate under the premise that it is NOT okay to forward inspirational texts or anything that ends with a warning such as "And if you don't send this to at least 8 people..." or a variation thereof. This also counts for words from George Carlin with the tag "absolutely brilliant." Anything that is "absolutely brilliant" is usually "not absolutely brilliant." It also applies to any email that is written in a font a size 18 and larger, or in alternating colors or weighted down with an overdose of smiley faces or---gasp---angel characters. And lastly, it counts for anything that comes with the disclaimer "I don't usually forward things, but..." Considering forwarding an email with the latter should be a clear warning sign that you best leave the piece to clutter up your own inbox.
