Is This True?

Thanks for the words of wisdom on yesterday's little niggle; I'm in total agreement with your opinions and think I'm taking myself out of the situation. I can do without it.

Some of you may have already seen this and I have no idea if the facts are correct but if all this is true it reinforces the theory - 'There's no such thing as coincidence.'

I have no idea where this originated or who composed it. I received it from a friend, who received it from a friend etc etc etc. So if you're going to pick holes in it, don't shoot the messenger! She's feeling very tired and run down today.
