Hi:

I think in the news they were talking about this Bird Flu going around.
Did ya here about them thar thing yet! That it has already shown up in
just about every country. Did you know that Chickens are BIRDS too! Here
you are you are going to eat Raw Eggs, that could well contain this Bird
Flu along with that Biotin stuff. At any other time Eating Raw Eggs
might be a real good thing, but now we got this new Flu making the
rounds, a new flu that can spread to HU - Mans. A new Flu that makes
SARS look like a little pimple! Might want to cook the stuff, so that
Virus, is put back a bit, instead of taking it Raw, wouldn't you say!
Yep! Yessiree! What are you a part of the New Jones Town Cult. Get
everyone to eat Raw Eggs, so that lots of people go to their Funeral or
somtin. So lots a people Croak, sooner! Give that undertaker sumtin to
do! Hey this is no Yolk! Ribbit Ribbit!

Just thought I would squeak up!

That Alfred fellow!
