I got a chain letter today from a friend.  Well, it says it’s not a chain letter…it’s a sock exchange.  But it’s totally a chain letter.

I haven’t gotten a chain letter since the 5th grade.  And I have no idea who sent me that one.  The return address was some kid from California who I’d never heard of.  Its lofty goal was to make it into the Guinness Book of World Records as the longest chain letter ever to be continued.  At the time, I thought that was Guinnea’s Book, as in “had something to do with Guinnea Pigs.”  So it sounded cooler than it actually was and I think that’s partially why I participated.

I carefully constructed my 10 letters to send to 10 people under the ruse that I would be getting back 100-odd letters flooding my mailbox within a short period of time.  100 letters - that would be like being the most popular kid on the planet.

I never got anything back.

Never.

Not a single letter.

I’m guessing that Guinness never heard about that chain either.

I haven’t decided whether or not to participate in this one.  It’s structured differently, and I only have to send something to one person.  But it’s socks.  Not just socks - FUNKY socks.  What am I going to do with 6 pairs of FUNKY SOCKS?
