Original Instructions:

Return Directions: Now, here's what you're supposed to do...and please do not spoil the fun. Copy (DO NOT forward) this entire email and paste it onto a new email that you will send. Change all of the answers so that they apply to you. Then send this to a whole bunch of people you know INCLUDING the person who sent it to you. The theory is that you will learn a lot of little known facts about those who know you. Remember to send it back to the person who sent it to you
