There is a new virus. The code name is WORK. If you receive WORK from your colleagues, your boss, via e-mail, or from anyone else, do not touch it under any circumstances. This virus wipes out your private life completely.

If you should happen to come in contact with this virus, take two friends and go straight to the nearest bar. Order drinks immediately and after three rounds, you will find that WORK has been completely deleted from your system.

Forward this virus warning immediately to at least five friends. Should you realize you do not have five friends, this means you are already infected by this virus and WORK already controls your life. If this is the case, go to the bar and stay until you make at least five friends. Then retry.

I think I have five friends, but am not entirely positive so I'm headed for the bar anyway.....it never hurts to be safe.

I've seen this one and it is vicious! I understand that an attack is planned for March 17 so be careful on that day. In fact, it may be wise to gather your friends and spend a good portion of the day in a local bar!

Received this email around St. Patrick's day and took its advice. It really doesn't take much to get me out for a drink.
