Oh yes… According to the email I got this morning, and some bloke called Anthony de Croud, I should have good fortune drop through my front door any time soon!! Well, that is if I forward the message to 20 people in the next 4 days…Phew…4 days…that beats some of them that usually only give me 12hrs or the like. I do wonder why people send these things on?? Perhaps it’s the “I’ve got nothing to lose” idea, or the superstitious “just in case”?!? Maybe they think I need some luck in my life?? I mean…being single…in my 30’s…studying…currently staying with my parents… sheesh, that can’t be so good…best send it to her!!

To be honest I’d rather have a cheque thanks!

So…just in case you’re feeling a little unlucky today…or perhaps no-one has sent you a get lucky email recently…shame on them!! Here it is for your enjoyment… and maybe I will become doubly lucky for posting it here…Hmmmmm?!?!

Well, at least it may brighten your day…just think… a chinese proverb originating in the Netherlands!! The message sent by “Anthony de Croud” but signed by J.A.B?!? A request not to send money because money can’t buy luck but 2 of the “testimonies” concern people becoming rich!! I guess my cynicism is gonna mean I’ll be a pretty unlucky person for a very long time… Bugger!!!

Ah, what the heck… I don’t really believe in “luck” anyway… so in honour of the non-existent Anthony de Croud, and all you “unlucky” people like me…here is the text of the infamous…circled the world 8 times… lucky message… Enjoy!!

ABOUT MONEY

WITH MONEY YOU CAN BUY A HOUSE
BUT NOT A HOME

WITH MONEY YOU CAN BUY A CLOCK
BUT NOT TIME

WITH MONEY YOU CAN BUY A BED
BUT NOT SLEEP

WITH MONEY YOU CAN BUY A BOOK, BUT
NOT KNOWLEDGE

WITH MONEY YOU CAN BUY MEDICINE,
BUT NOT GOOD HEALTH

WITH MONEY YOU CAN BUY A POSITION
BUT NOT RESPECT

WITH MONEY YOU CAN BUY BLOOD
BUT NOT LIFE

WITH MONEY YOU CAN BUY SEX
BUT NOT LOVE

THIS CHINESE PROVERB BRINGS LUCK
IT ORIGINATED FROM THE NETHERLANDS

THIS PROVERB HAS GONE 8 TIMES AROUND THE WORLD, NOW IT IS YOUR TURN TO HAVE GOOD LUCK ONCE YOU HAVE RECEIVED IT.
THIS IS NOT A JOKE

YOUR LUCK WILL COME BY MAIL OR INTERNET

SEND A COPY TO PERSONS THAT REALLY NEED LUCK, DO NOT SEND MONEY, BECAUSE YOU CANNOT BUY LUCK, AND DO NOT KEEP IT FOR MORE THAN 96HRS (4 DAYS)
HERE IS A FEW EXAMPLES OF PEOPLE THAT GOT LUCK AFTER RECEIVING THAT PROVERB:

CONSTANTIN, GOT HIS FIRST IN 1953, HE ASKED HIS SECRETARY TO MAKE 20 COPIES.
NINE HOURS LATTER HE WON $99 MILLION IN THE LOTTERY.
CARLOS, EMPLOYED RECEIVED THE SAME CARD, BUT DID NOT SEND IT, A FEW DAYS LATER HE LOST HIS JOB.
DAYS LATER HE CHANGED HIS MIND, SENT IT, AND BECAME RICH.

IN 1967, BRUNO GOT THE CARD, HE LAUGHED ABOUT IT AND DISCARDED IT, A FEW DAYS LATTER HIS SON GOT SICK.
HE LOOKED FOR THE CARD MADE 20 COPIES AND SENT THEM. NINE DAYS LATTER, HE GOT GOOD NEWS: HIS SON WAS SAFE AND SOUND.

THIS CARD HAS BEEN SENT BY ANTHONY DE CROUD, A MISSIONARY IN SOUTH AFRICA.

BEFORE 96 HOURS YOU HAVE TO SEND THAT CARD.
YOUR LUCK WILL COME WITHIN 4 DAYS FROM THE MOMENT YOU RECEIVED THAT CARD, IF YOU COMPLY TO THE WISHED EXPRESSED IN THIS CARD.
THIS IS TRUE.

THIS CARD HAS BEEN SENT FOR GOOD LUCK.

LUCK IS FINALY AT YOUR DOOR. SEND 20 COPIES TO ACQUAINTANCES, FRIENDS AND FAMILY.

ONE DAY LATTER YOU WILL GET A GOOD NEWS OR SURPRISE. I SENT THIS CARD EXPECTING IT TO GO AROUND THE WORLD.
SEND ONLY 20 COPIES AND EXPECT GOOD TIDINGS IN THE NEXT DAYS.

IMPORTANT:

DO NOT MODIFY THE TEXT THAT I SENT YOU, COPY IT EXACTLY THE WAY YOU GOT IT.

GOOD LUCK.

J.A.B.
