A Poor Man's Computer Virus
Sponsored By
I wasn't sure whether to laugh or cry. It cracked me up though - today in my Inbox:
Hi, I am a Portuguese virus, but because of the poor technology and lack of money in my country I am not able to do anything with your computer. So, please be kind and delete an important file on your system and then forward me to other users. Thank you.

Although I was not the one who sent you this joke, it was probably some other Brazilian. Brazil's pass-time #2 (right below soccer) is telling (unfair) jokes about our good friends, the Portuguese. I think each country has its own version of these jokes, targeted at some other country.
Augh! Your low-tech virus somehow made it past all my virus checking software and appeared on my screen!
Next, on Fox, when memes attack...

Doh! Now I have to reformat! That virus wiped out half of my files and now I can't boot!
