Ok, here it goes.

A few months ago I got one of those “amusing” emails you get from your friends.

Here is what email said:

“A woman licked an envelope in a local post office and cut her tongue, after several days the place where she’d been cut began to swell. She started to get nervous and went to see a doctor. The doctor cut open the swelled area and a cockroach climbed out, there had been eggs on the envelope she had licked.”

Now, that made me little cranky, but what a hell I replied anyway.

Here is my reply:

Dear friend,

“Funny you should mention that, but similar thing happened to me too.
I just finished paying my electric bill and I placed billing statement along with better portion of my weekly pay in an envelope. So naturally I licked the envelope, placed it in my mail box and went on my way.
Few days after I felt little tingling in my mouth so I drank some milk, but it only gotten worse. I went to the bathroom to see what it was and there it was: a baby goat.
A frickin baby goat was growing on my tongue.
I just took a knife and cut my tongue out and ate it. I also saved $20 co pay for a doctor visit. ”
