IJMC - Do Not Open Until March 28, 1997

I don't have much to say right now, and I don't think I'll have much more 
to say over the next few days (since I'm doing them all at once...). But 
who knows, I might figure out something to rant about or whatnot.   -dave






No moving parts, no batteries.
No monthly payments and no fees;
Inflation proof, non-taxable,
In fact, it's quite relaxable;

It can't be stolen, won't pollute,
One size fits all, do not dilute.
It uses little energy,
But yields results enormously.

Relieves your tension and your stress,
Invigorate your happiness;
Combats depression, makes you beam,
And elevates your self esteem!

Without unpleasant side effects
It is, I think, the perfect drug:
May I prescribe, my friend,... the hug!
(and, of course, fully returnable!)

THIS IS AN ELECTRONIC HUG.  YOU'RE
UNDER NO OBLIGATION TO PASS IT ON.
FOR ONCE, NO BAD LUCK WILL BEFALL YOU
IF YOU DON'T WANT TO OR DON'T HAVE
TIME TO KEEP THIS THING MOVING.

HOWEVER, MOST PEOPLE HAVE SOMEONE
THEY WANT TO HUG.  SO, WHY NOT TAKE THIS
OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE SOMEONE FEEL A
LITTLE BETTER?

THIS CAN BE SENT TO SOMEONE WHO YOU
KNOW NEEDS A REALLY GOOD, WARM
HUG... OLD BEST FRIENDS, NEW BEST
FRIENDS, PARENTS, ANYONE...  IN THIS
DAY AND AGE OF BOMBINGS, GUNFIGHTS,
DEADLINES AND HATRED, I THINK THAT
MOST PEOPLE COULD USE A GOOD HUG.  I
CERTAINLY COULD USE ONE.

SO NOW, CLOSE YOUR EYES, TAKE IN A
GOOD BREATH, AND SMILE... YOU'VE JUST
BEEN E-HUGGED FROM SOMEONE WHO
CARES ABOUT YOU  :)

The hardest battle is to be
nobody but yourself in a
world that is doing its best
night and day to make you
like everybody else.
