that's what you get

This is what happens when you start going through old folders that have been kept for you for who-knows-what reason: you find really random crap!! Because I need a laugh, and I'm sure you all need one, too... because I said so... I will post one of my findings. This was a forward that my Auntie Raelene sent me back in 1999, my senior year of high school:
