A few months ago the  following was sent to me by a long time -Lister.
Appears he shared the sentiment.

I recommend that you place this disclaimer around all future e-mails to
*anyone* ...      ;-)


   IMPORTANT: This email is intended for the use of the individual
   addressee(s) named above and may contain information that is
   confidential,
   privileged or unsuitable for overly sensitive persons with low
   self-esteem,
   no sense of humor or irrational religious beliefs. If you are not the
   intended recipient, any dissemination, distribution or copying of this
   email is not authorized (either explicitly or implicitly) and
   constitutes
   an irritating social faux pas.

   Unless the word absquatulation has been used in its correct context
   somewhere other than in this warning, it does not have any legal or no
   grammatical use and may be ignored. No animals were harmed in the
   transmission of this email, although the kelpie next door is living on
   borrowed time, let me tell you. Those of you with an overwhelming fear
   of
   the unknown will be gratified to learn that there is no hidden message
   revealed by reading this warning backwards, so just ignore that Alert
   Notice from Microsoft.

   However, by pouring a complete circle of salt around yourself and your
   computer you can ensure that no harm befalls you and your pets. If you
   have
   received this email in error, please add some nutmeg and egg whites,
   whisk
   and place in a warm oven for 40 minutes.
