Isn't it ironic?

My Inspiration behind this post : The crazy, and I do mean CRAZYYY number of forwards that people keep forwarding...in all sizes, fonts, shapes and formats.

The classic example of the forward on 'The 50 things that people should be doing' ; excerpts from which are -
1.Watch the sunset together.
2. Whisper to each other.
3. Cook for each other.
4.Walk in the rain.
5. Hold hands.
6. Buy gifts for each other............etc, etc, etc
Click for entire 4ward

Now, its a really good forward, we all know that, but pray, tell me what's the big idea behind sending me the same thing in the form of :- [ Brace yourselves :-) ]

A mail message -
(1) In Plain text
(2) In HTML - bright background ( Did someone say Govinda? ), brighter colours, not a very bright idea though
(3) With an attachment ; now that could be in various forms as well, to illustrate :

(3- A) A word document : This again could be either
(i) - A word document with unformatted data
(ii) - A word document with data in multi-colours, all formatting attributes of Word used to the maximum, bold, italics, font- sizes, fonts, you name it, they have it, Courier, Comic Mc Sans, Times New Roman, nah, TImes is old news, I like antiques, so yu have Book Antiqua...

(3-B) A Microsoft Power Point presentation : Now, that comes in various design templates, if yu are really lucky?, and refer (3-A-ii) for the other attributes

(3-C) Saved the best for last, an Excel sheet, at the end of which you have this standard formula that would expect you to write anything really, your name, your dog's name, your cat's skin colour, and tell you to hit the ENTER key,at the end of which a message always, invariably, in RED, BOLD and a humungous font-size would tell you to
'Get back to your work, and not waste the resources of the company'...Well, isn't it ironic?

Song of the day : Refer Title / last line above - Alanis Morisette
What ??? : is the matter with people???? somebody tell me please...That reminds me of the lyrics of the theme song of 'Full House', remember the gorgeous Jesse; FullHouseLyrics

Cheers,
Anya
