Sounds fishy

They got me !, but then I don't eat french fries etc. after pumping gas without washing my hands first.

You never know where that pump handle has been : ^ )

 

If a needle were on a gas pump and a virus were still viable...As soon as you grabbed the handle and the needle penetrated your skin you would have been exposed, finger licking good or not. Hand washing at that point will do nothing.... But as the website points out this is likely a Urban Legend

RECEIVED THIS E-mail- THOUGHT I WOULD PASS IT ON TO YOU


***********DANGEROUS PRANK:*****************

My name is Captain Abraham Sands of the Jacksonville, Florida

Police Department. I have been asked by state and local authorities to write this email in order to get the word out to car drivers of a very dangerous prank that is occurring in numerous states.

Some person or persons have been affixing hypodermic needles to the underside of gas pump handles. These needles appear to be infected with HIV positive blood. In the Jacksonville area alone there have been 17 cases of people being stuck bythese needles over the past five months.

We have verified reports of at least 12 others in various around the country. It is believed that these may be copycat incidents due to someone reading about the crimes or seeing them reported on the television. At this point no one has been arrested and catching the perpetrator(s) has become our top priority.

Shockingly, of the 17 people who where stuck, eight have tested HIV positive and because of the nature of the disease, the others could test positive in a couple years.

Evidently the consumers go to fill their car with gas, and when picking up the pump handle get stuck with the infected needle. IT IS IMPERATIVE TO CAREFULLY CHECK THE HANDLE of the gas pump each time you use one. LOOK

AT EVERY SURFACE YOUR HAND MAY TOUCH, INCLUDING UNDER THE HANDLE.

If you do find a needle affixed to one, immediately contact your local police department so they can collect the evidence.

PLEASE HELP US BY MAINTAINING A VIGILANCE AND BY FORWARDING THIS EMAIL TO ANYONE YOU KNOW WHO DRIVES. THE MORE PEOPLE WHO KNOW OF THIS THE BETTER PROTECTED WE CAN ALL BE. ***********

I know this guy whose neighbor, a young man, was home recovering from
having been served a rat in his bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken. So
anyway, one day he went to sleep and when he awoke he was in his bathtub
and it was full of ice and he was sore all over. When he got out of the tub
he realized that HIS KIDNEYS HAD BEEN STOLEN and he saw a note on his
mirror that said "Call 911!"

But he was afraid to use his phone because it was connected to his
computer, and there was a virus on his computer that would destroy his hard
drive if he opened an e-mail entitled "Join the crew!"

He knew it wasn't a hoax because he himself was a computer programmer who
was working on software to save us from Armageddon when the year 2000 rolls
around. His program will prevent a global disaster in which all the
computers get together and distribute the $600 Neiman Marcus cookie recipe
under the leadership of Bill Gates. (It's true-I read it all last week in a
mass e-mail from BILL GATES HIMSELF, who was also promising me a free
Disneyworld vacation and $5,000 if I would forward the e-mail to everyone I
know.)

The poor man then tried to call 911 from a pay phone to report his missing
kidneys, but reaching into the coin-return slot he got jabbed with an
HIV-infected needle around which was wrapped a note that said, "Welcome to
the world of AIDS."

Luckily he was only a few blocks from the hospital-the one, actually, where
that little boy who is dying of cancer is, the one whose last wish is for
everyone in the world to send him an e-mail and the American Cancer Society
has agreed to pay him a nickel for every e-mail he receives. I sent him two
e-mails and one of them was a bunch of x's and o's in the shape of an angel
(if you get it and forward it to twenty people you will have good luck but
ten people you will only have ok luck and if you send it to less than ten
people you will have BAD LUCK FOR SEVEN YEARS).

So anyway the poor guy tried to drive himself to the hospital, but on the
way he noticed another car driving along without his lights on. To be
helpful, he flashed his lights at him and was promptly shot as part of a
gang initiation.

And it's a little-known fact that the Y1K problem caused the Dark Ages.

Well that letter with reference to the North Carolina state bar is a total Hoax, they have a recorded message stating that fact. I just called it because I am working in Raleigh right now. Well you never know, remember when people put razor blades in cady apples for halloween, sick! There always seems to be those few individuals out there with disturbed minds.

 

You're one sick puppy !
