Hoax Warnings

 Alphabetical Index
NAME:Work Virus hoax

The message below is a hoax:

   This virus warning is genuine.

   There is a new virus going around, called "work." If you
   receive any sort of "work" at all, whether via email, internet
   or simply handed to you by a colleague...DO NOT OPEN IT.

   This has been circulating around our building for months and
   those who have been tempted to open "work" or even look at
   "work" have found that their social life is deleted and their
   brain ceases to function properly.

   If you do encounter "work" via email or are faced with any
   "work" at all, then to purge the virus, send an email to your
   boss with the words "I've had enough of your crap... I'm off
   to the pub." The "work" should automatically be forgotten by
   your brain. If you receive "work" in paper-document form,
   simply lift the document and drag the "work" to your garbage
   can. Put on your hat and coat and skip to the nearest bar with
   two friends and order three pints of beer (or rum punch).
   After repeating this action 14 times, you will find that
   "work" will no longer be of any relevance to you and that
   "Scooby Doo" was the greatest cartoon ever.

   Send this message to everyone in your address book. If you do
   NOT have anyone in your address book, then I'm afraid the
   "work" virus has already corrupted your life.

If you receive this message, please do not spread it any further.
