Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

Oh for me, it's not about Facebook. It's about my family members sending me almost everything mentioned in the song at one time or another, most repeatedly. And I've tried to school them on snopes.com to no avail. In fact, some of the hoax emails they send along SAY they've been checked on snopes but clearly haven't.

My iPad is too crap to open it so I'll wait until I'm on a decent computer to see it

Yep, got some friends that I would like to keep in touch with that have been relegated to the junk catcher in Outlook because of it.
Gonna send them this.
And you'll probably see it on Facebook quite bit over the next few days as several of your friends re-post it.

I funnel everything from my Dad and my uncle into a special folder and comb through it lightly for anything personal or relevant. 99% is junk. I've asked them to stop before and they get upset. Over time the email levels just creep back up. Thankfully Gmail never empties the trash and that's saved my bacon a couple times.
