I don’t usually post these spam email things, but this one is pretty interesting

Just follow the instructions as quickly as possible.

Do not go to the next calculation before you have finished the previous one.

Do not go back once you have finished one.

You do not need to write or remember the answers, just do it.

You'll be surprised.




Start:

How much is: 15+6


















3+56














89+2


















12+53




















75+26



























25+52























63+32







I know! Calculations are hard work but it’s nearly over...








Come on, one more...








123+5




















QUICK! THINK ABOUT A TOOL AND A COLOR!







Scroll further to the bottom...











A bit more...












You have just thought about a red hammer, haven't you????

















If this is not the case, you are among 2% of people who have a "different” if not "abnormal" mind.

98% of the folks would answer a "red hammer” while doing this exercise.

Orange screwdriver.

I'm abnormal, but I already knew that.

I thought about a brown screwdriver. I guess I am 'different' or abnormal. Frankly, I don't get that. Now, if I had been thinking about gouging your eyes out with a brown screwdriver, then I would say that calling me 'abnormal' would be a fair assessment!

Isn't "normal" a subjective thing?

Orange drill. Does this mean I have a desire to "drill" a Tennessee fan? [shutter]

I guess I am half normal.


Or is it half psychotic?

Naw, he ain't trolling - this one is all over the net. I looked for "You have just thought about a red hammer, haven't you" on google and the gag is on 104 places (and counting).

see for example: http://www.netlaughter.com/5febuaryfun2/5febuaryfun2.cfm

"chili, don't pack any cheap liquour while hiking with Nigal either. We don't want you to wake up with a sore ass."

Hmmm, TT have long memories don't they. I must be more careful about what I say from here on out, even when kidding. LOL!

Was it you that told that joke? I just remembered reading it and not who told it. I'm afraid we have similar senses of humor. Your pour wife!

Is there any affirmative action programs for this 2% minority.

Preference in employment, housing or college placement, Government contracts for minority owned businesses ??

Or do you have to be a major minority to get some preferential treatment ?
