Subject: a variation on the "aids mary" ul
|
|
|
|
i heard a new (to me anyway) version of the infamous "aids mary" ul
|
|
tonight at work, told by a chirpy little 18-year-old who swore it
|
|
really happened to a friend of a friend of hers. the most interesting
|
|
twist is it has the man giving aids to the woman:
|
|
|
|
it seems that a group of young college women went to florida for
|
|
spring break. while there, one of them met the perfect man and fell
|
|
madly in love. by the end of the week they were engaged. but, of
|
|
course, spring break ended, and the girl had to fly home. at the
|
|
airport, the man gave her a ring box which she assumed was an
|
|
engagement ring. when she got home, she excitedly told her family and
|
|
friends all about mr wonderful, and with them around, opened the ring
|
|
box, which turned out to contain a toy skeleton and a piece of paper
|
|
which said (of course) "welcome to the world of aids."
|
|
|
|
a couple of interesting things: another coworker was prompted to tell
|
|
the original story, with the lipstick mirror message. and the first
|
|
person told this story in response to a coworker talking about a
|
|
telemarketer who'd accepted a customer's invitation to spend a weekend
|
|
in san francisco. her point was that if you accept invitations from
|
|
strangers and sleep with them, you'll die.
|
|
|
|
has anyone else heard this variant?
