Default "Amobacter Caninii" - Important health warning

Received this important health update in my e-mail today:

In a press release today, the National Institute of Health has announced the discovery of a potentially dangerous substance in the hair of dogs. This substance, called "Amobacter Caninii" has been linked with the following symptoms in those individuals living with dogs: reluctance to cook, clean or do housework, a reluctance to wear make-up, good clothes or good shoes, reluctance to spend money on home or car repairs until after 'Baby' has new collars,
leashes, beds, treats, food, blankets or toys.

"Amobacter Caninii" usually results in long hours away from home and
exhaustion which may lead to a loss of physical contact with other humans (especially spouses and boyfriends or girlfriends). "Amobacter Caninii" is thought to be addictive, driving the need for additional sources - this may lead to a "pack mentality" or like the potato chip commercial, "you can't have just one".

Beware! If you come in contact with a human infected by this
substance, be prepared to talk about dogs for hours. Legislation is being considered for the use of this Surgeon General's Warning: Dogs are expensive, addictive, and may impair the ability to use common sense.

I hope they don't come up with a cure for this. I have it bad and I'm keeping it.
