# Christ
If I hear that from one more person I meet in my social circle, I'm going to smack them in the face with my fist.

# haha
reeeeelax.

I say it simply because I have received similar jokes in several emails from friends and acquaintances in the last few weeks. Good stuff for the original poster, as it's gone a bit viral-ish, but rather annoying. I tend to ignore my friends now if they send me Forwards, or give them some abuse if I'm particularly angry.

# See, that's the "trouble" (for want of a better word) with B3ta
B3tans are typically intelligent and witty people. So any internet jokes that make it into the real world inevitably originate from B3ta. As a result I get an inbox of forwards which I already saw on B3ta three months ago!

Including Credit, Bastard, Crunch!

or if there's something I haven't seen on b3ta already, it tends to be shit.
My dad is guilty of sending me utter shite. Fucking Mastercard adverts.

He made a picture of Scarfell Pike out of Hovis.

# haha ok...
sorry.
here's a present since I was so presumptuous...



(sorry about the bad font matching)

# No worries!
I could probably do it, but it would mean rewriting it in white, and then placing letter by letter black characters one point smaller than the white over the top of them. Which frankly I can't be mithered to do!

Unless there's any tips I have missed...

EDIT nicely!
