- Subject: a variation on the "aids mary" ul
-
- i heard a new (to me anyway) version of the infamous "aids mary" ul
- tonight at work, told by a chirpy little 18-year-old who swore it
- really happened to a friend of a friend of hers. the most interesting
- twist is it has the man giving aids to the woman:
-
- it seems that a group of young college women went to florida for
- spring break. while there, one of them met the perfect man and fell
- madly in love. by the end of the week they were engaged. but, of
- course, spring break ended, and the girl had to fly home. at the
- airport, the man gave her a ring box which she assumed was an
- engagement ring. when she got home, she excitedly told her family and
- friends all about mr wonderful, and with them around, opened the ring
- box, which turned out to contain a toy skeleton and a piece of paper
- which said (of course) "welcome to the world of aids."
-
- a couple of interesting things: another coworker was prompted to tell
- the original story, with the lipstick mirror message. and the first
- person told this story in response to a coworker talking about a
- telemarketer who'd accepted a customer's invitation to spend a weekend
- in san francisco. her point was that if you accept invitations from
- strangers and sleep with them, you'll die.
-
- has anyone else heard this variant?
