    Why do they call it "social distancing?" shouldn't it be "anti-social distancing"?

    Just got this in the ol' email, haven't seen one of these in awhile,
    same old 'someone has million$$ with my name on it' story, but with a different twist-
    Thought it might be worth a chuckle

    Hello;

    Our agency has in possession a parcel shipped from a government agency of the United Kingdom.
    During transport the package was damaged and the label became almost illegible.
    What we have deciphered appears to be your name.

    In events such as this we have no choice but to turn these packages over to the closest match
    on the shipping address. This is required by law. And this is why we are contacting you.

    These packages have been scanned and x-rayed in hopes to find any information
    to surrender them to the rightful owner.

    We discovered, while x-raying these packages, that they contain a large amount of United States currency.
    We assume this was a transaction or transfer to you and that you are probably still expecting the delivery.
    (The total estimated sum is close to $8M)

    Again, we are required by law to turn this package over to the rightful owner
    and since your name appears on the shipping label, that owner is probably you.

    We would like you to forward this parcel to you but we need to verify your full name,
    proper shipping address and a telephone number so we may begin processing this claim.

    There is a limited time required by law to claim lost/damaged/illegible packages. Once this time expires
    we must turn the package over to the United States Government who disperses the contents to charities.
    Any unclaimed money is sent to the US Treasury Office where it is destroyed.

    If you feel that you should claim this money please reply with the information above and we can release it to you.

    CONTACT.... mrtownsendholley0@gmail.com

    Thank you for your help in this matter;

    MR TOWNSEND HOLLEY

    Maybe it is someone who is old school, very old school. When printing came into the western world some printers distributed sheets with "stories from the North, East, West & South. Over time it became simplified to "from the NEWS."

    At least that is how it was explained to me.

    Made me look it up. NEWS....14th century use of the plural from of 'new'. In middle english it came out as NEWES.

    I like Jim's version better though, kinda reminds me of 'BIBLE'...Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth'.
