Fun with SPAM.... and bourbon....or was it gasoline?

In the last few days, I've gotten the same email from some friends and family. They are sending it due to the high cost of gasoline. It is classic SPAM. I decided to change it and send it back to them. Hope they like it!

Here's my version.

Don’t buy Bourbon for a week!!!

THIS IS NOT THE 'DON'T BUY' BOURBON FOR ONE DAY, BUT IT WILL SHOW YOU HOW WE CAN GET BOURBON BACK DOWN TO $9.50 PER GALLON.

This was sent by a retired Coca Cola executive. It came from one of his
engineer buddies who retired from Halliburton. If you are tired of the BOURBON
prices going up AND they will continue to rise this summer, take time to
read this please.

Phillip Hollsworth offered this good idea.
This makes MUCH MORE SENSE than the "don't buy BOURBON on a certain day" campaign that was going around last April or May!
It's worth your consideration. Join the resistance!!!!

I hear we are going to hit close to $16.00 a gallon by next summer and it
might go higher!! Want BOURBON prices to come down?

We need to take some intelligent, united action. The distillers just
laughed at that because they knew we wouldn't continue to "hurt" ourselves
by refusing to buy BOURBON.

It was more of an inconvenience to us than it was a problem for them.
BUT, whoever thought of this idea, has come up with a plan that can really
work. Please read on and join with us!

By now you're probably thinking BOURBON priced at about $9.50 is super
cheap. Me too! It is currently $20 for any gallon worth drinking.

Now that the distilleries have conditioned us to think that the cost of a gallon of BOURBON is CHEAP at $18 to $22, we need to take aggressive action to teach them that BUYERS control the marketplace...not sellers.

With the price of BOURBON going up more each day, we consumers need to take action.

The only way we are going to see the price of BOURBON come down is if we hit
someone in the pocketbook by not purchasing their BOURBON! And, we can do that WITHOUT hurting ourselves.

How? Since we all rely on a good stiff shot after work, we can't just stop buying BOURBON.

But we CAN have an impact on BOURBON prices if we all act together to force a
price war.

Here's the idea. For the rest of this year, DON'T purchase ANY BOURBON
from the biggest companies, Jim Beam, Jack Daniels and Seagrams.

If they are not selling any BOURBON, they will be inclined to reduce their
prices. If they reduce their prices, the other companies will have to follow
suit.

But to have an impact, we need to reach literally millions of BOURBON buyers. It's really simple to do! Now, don't wimp out on me at this point...keep reading and I'll explain how simple it is to reach millions of people!!

I am sending this note to 30 people. If each of us send it to at least ten
more (30 x 10 = 300) .. and those 300 send it to at least ten more (300 x 10
= 3,000)...and so on, by the time the message reaches the sixth group of
people, we will have reached over THREE MILLION consumers.
If those three million get excited and pass this on to ten friends each,
then 30 million people will have been contacted!

If it goes one level further, you guessed it..... THREE HUNDRED MILLION
PEOPLE!!!

Again, all you have to do is send this to 10 people. That's all!

(If you don't understand how we can reach 300 million and all you have to do
is send this to 10 people.... Well, let's face it, you just aren't a mathematician. But I am. So trust me on this one.

How long would all that take? If each of us sends this e-mail out to ten
more people within one day of receipt, all 300 MILLION people could
conceivably be contacted within the next 8 days!!!

I'll bet you didn't think you and I had that much potential, did you!
Acting together we can make a difference.

If this makes sense to you, please pass this message on. I suggest that we
not buy from Jack Daniels, Seagram’s or Jim Beam UNTIL THEY LOWER THEIR PRICES TO THE $10.00 RANGE AND KEEP THEM DOWN. THIS CAN REALLY WORK.


Keep it going
