You Know You're Cleaning Out Your Inbox When...

...you start posting stupid forwards from many months ago. So here you go:

Sure, I've seen these used before on for other "If you have..." lists. Like, If You Live in Pittsburgh. Or if you Live in Seattle. Or in Palm Beach (Perhaps not Palm Beach. But you feel me?). But whatever. A lot of it is true. E.g., I have no idea how many miles it is between home and Morgantown, but I can tell you it takes about two hours if you're going to the Sabraton exit, and two hours and 20 minutes if you're going to the Weston exit. Add 5 minutes if you're trying to get to the mall up there.
