First story: My friend's cw has been bringing in large boxes of produce each week and giving it away. Everyone assumed she was gardening a lot. Someone asked her about it today, and she said she went to an organization that was giving it away for free. Upon further investigation, she goes to this place once a week, waits in a line that's nearly a mile long, and fills up her car with food once it's her turn. Turns out it's a food bank for destitute families. The cw is definitely not needy.
Second story: Another friend's boyfriend just received this email at work from a cw:
The year is 1947. Some of you will recall that on July 8, 1947, a little over 60 years ago, witnesses claim that an unidentified flying object (UFO) with five aliens aboard crashed onto a sheep and mule ranch just outside Roswell , New Mexico . This is a well known incident that many say has long been covered up by the U.S.. Air Force and other federal agencies and organizations.
However, what you may NOT know is that in the month of April 1948, nine months after that historic day, the following people were born:
Albert A. Gore, Jr.
Hillary Rodham
John F. Kerry
William J. Clinton
Howard Dean
Nancy Pelosi
Dianne Feinstein
Charles E. Schumer
Barbara Boxer
See what happens when aliens breed with sheep and jackasses? I certainly hope this bit of information clears up a lot of things for you. It did for me. No wonder they support the bill to help illegal aliens!
Suggested responses: Simply sending the Snopes link (

And a friendly tip from another friend: "After a night of debauchery with your friends that inevitably ends in a visit to the strip club, it might behoove you to at least wash the glitter off your face and neck before meeting up with your wife and child to go to the zoo."
People sure are... interesting.
