I received an email today from a friend to pass on. It might be complete BS, but, I thought I would share it with y'all, in case it isn't:
Dear Friends:
I know not all of you are women that I am sending this to, but am hoping you will share this with your wives, daughters, mothers, sisters, etc. Our world seems to be getting crazier by the day. Pipe bombs in mailboxes and sickos in parking lots with perfume. Be careful. I was approached yesterday afternoon around 5:30 PM in the Walmart parking by two males asking what kind of perfume I was wearing.
Then they asked if I'd like to sample some fabulous scent they were willing to sell me at a very reasonable rate. I probably would have agreed had I not received an e-mail warning of a "Wanna smell this neat perfume?" scam.
The men continued to stand between parked cars, I guess to wait for someone else to hit on. I stopped a lady going towards them, pointing at them and told her about how I was sent an e-mail at work about someone walking up to you at the malls or in parking lots and asking you to SNIFF PERFUME that they are selling at a cheap price.
THIS IS NOT PERFUME...IT IS ETHER!
When you sniff it, you'll pass out. They'll take your wallet, your valuables and heaven k knows what else.
If it were not for this e-mail, I probably would have sniffed the 'perfume' but thanks to the generosity of an e-mailing friend, I was spared whatever might have happened to me.
I wanted to do the same for you.
PLEASE PASS THIS ALONG TO ALL YOUR WOMEN FRIENDS AND PLEASE BE ALERT AND BE AWARE. IF YOU ARE A MAN AND RECEIVE THIS, PASS IT ON TO YOUR WOMEN FRIENDS.
It's better to be safe then sorry. There are some sick people in this world. You wonderful ladies take care.
Never, mind, I just recieved the email, Momandherblog :)
Hey, I like the 3 hot ladies in the comments pop up. Awesome!
OK, hope I am not insulting your intelligence, but they get you to sniff the ether, you get really dizzy or pass out, then they, at best, rob you. We won't go into worst case.

Posted by: Tammy at August 11, 2005 09:44 PMHi, Tammy. Looking good. Love what you have done for Jody. You know that it will change in a month or so, right? :)
PS: you do know that your site is fragged, right? Major wordpress errors.

Posted by: William Teach at August 11, 2005 10:23 PMTis terrible....having blogging withdrawals. How am I to post the picture of my daughter who fell asleep wearing a sleeping mask? How am I to embarass the child?! Thinking I need to find a new host home.
Posted by: Tammy at August 11, 2005 10:35 PMTeach, always a good idea to be wary of strangers and on your guard.
This particular threat? A hoax.
