Zombie Drivers
 
If you never forward anything else, please forward this to all your contacts... this is very scary to think of... better heed this and pray about it and share it.

A RADICAL terrorist organization has been breaking into cars at night and soaking the upholstery with a Columbian drug called “burundanga.” The fumes -- sometimes confused with that new car smell -- can instill a feeling of omnipotence along with a total disregard for others on the road. Basically, those who inhale the burundanga fumes turn into zombie drivers (awake and talkative but unable to drive properly or share the road with others).

The government is taking great care to conceal the facts about the terrorist burundanga outbreak. If asked, government officials are quick to say that they have no information or that nothing has been confirmed. But keep in mind that the government has a strong interest in preventing a widespread panic.

If ever there was a reason to stop driving, THIS IS IT!!! The only way to determine who the zombie drivers are is for all of the non-zombies to get out of their cars. If at all possible, don’t drive at all! Walk, ride a bike, or take public transit. And stay alert for zombie drivers!!!

Good thing my car smells like stale feet and wet dog. I know I'm safe!

I wonder if any message containing some variant of "forward to everyone you know" has ever turned out to be true. The government conspiracy is a nice touch, though. Dam gummint!

Nice try with an old urban legend. I see they have upgraded from handing out soaked business cards.

snopes is your friend

I forwarded it to everyone and am now praying for an end to this RADICAL threat. Thank you!

Freewheeling Sp 10-16-08 09:18 AM

Bless you, Bandit. And stay alert out there!

So how will we be able to tell them apart from the drivers who don't inhale fumes?

I know you are there cause I can smell your brains!

I'm still trying to figure out the pun. "Burundanga?"

Oh look ... it's number 3 on the urban legends list.

Now let's see here ....

Oh look ... it's status is False!

I think it's too late, the population in general has already been zombified. For some reason, they all seem to have cell phones stuck to their ears as well....

coldfeet 10-16-08 07:07 PM

Ooooh! I never thought I'd be tempted to forward a message like this, especially one I know is false!

Around my neighborhood I think they've managed to get the burundanga into the water supply :rolleyes:

Up here, I think burundanga consists of some sort of combination of extreme tiredness/lack of sleep, massive consumptions of alcohol, and a little cocaine and marijuana thrown into the mix for good measure. Add to it that ever-present cell phone glued to an ear .... and you've just described much of the traffic on the highway between Calgary and Edmonton!! :D

And I drive that highway 3 days a week. Scary.

DiHydrogen Monoxide AND Burundanga!?

At least spraying it in your car would help take care of the guy hiding in the backseat.

I'm going to need a bit more cooperation. I don't think this thing has gone viral yet.

Whether it's true or not is irrelevant to some people.
I guess anything that pokes fun at those evil cagers is funny. :rolleyes:

Troll and not good at it either. Find a better way to have your 15 minutes of fame.

You would think that someone who calls himself "Fluffhead" would possess a better sense of humor. (especially if he lives in Baltimore)

1fluffhead 10-17-08 08:20 AM

I have a sense of humor for something that IS funny, witty, or ironic to name a few. This is none of them. Try again. You have plagiarized an old email trying to make it your own and failed horribly. Be original and maybe you might succeed at getting your email into my spam folder one day.
