I get that kind of urban legends from my 82 yr old mother all the time.
No matter how many times I tell her if a story comes to her via email,
it is not true, she keeps forwarding them to me.


That's because she knows you are a sucker.



Could be, but they at least did the 3R's then. My mom's friend Betty passed
away a couple of years ago at the age of 94. We always got a thank you
after a holiday visit. The note was correctly punctuated, beautiful
penmanship, and well written. Now some of the highschool graduates can not
read thier diploma.
