Healthy Level of Insanity

Any given day I get 10 to 15 forwards, many of them are repeats from people who don't bother to check the address line. The other day I received the following:

20. Send This E-mail To Someone To Make Them Smile and wonder what happened to #10, 15 & 16!!

It's Called Therapy...


It's a little embarrassing to inform others that of the 17 items on the list I'd already completed 9 of them and the 3 unmentionables (believe me, you don't want to know). I can admit to 2, 3, 4, 8, 9, 10, 11, 15, 16, 17, 18 and 20 (19 to an extent as I told my sister she had been fired). I've yet to determine what this says about my level of insanity, but I've decided I'd be better off if I don't examine it too closely.
