That one's nothing in comparison to this one . . .


There is a dangerous virus being passed electronically, orally and by hand. This virus is called Worm-Overload-Recreational-Killer (WORK). If you receive WORK from any of your colleagues, your boss or anyone else via any means DO NOT TOUCH IT. This virus will wipe out your private life completely.

If you should come into contact with WORK, put your jacket on and take two good friends to the nearest pub. Purchase the antidote known as Work-Isolator-Neutralizer-Extractor (WINE). Take the antidote repeatedly until WORK has been completely eliminated from your system. You should forward this warning to 5 friends. If you do not have 5 friends, you have already been infected and WORK is controlling your life.

Update: After extensive testing it has been concluded that Best-Equivalent-Extractor-Remedy (BEER) may be substituted for WINE but may require a more generous application!

Second update: This information is not complete and can lead to more serious problems if addressed in this manner.

Attempting to remove this worm with either WINE or BEER can unknowingly install a more vicious virus, Wisdom-Inherent-Financial-Extractor (WIFE.) This insipid virus is known to lurk in back-doors or entrance portals at the most unexpected random hours, alert for the appearance of a WORK-infected file carrying the BEER or WINE pattern in it's extension. This virus can operate in a number of ways, most commonly clobbering the WORK infected file with a Pop-Atop-Noggin (PAN) or worse yet, activate a variety of networks to call in other more vicious viruses such as Mother-In-Law (MIL) or Heinously-Armed-Girlfriends (HAGS) to assist in reducing the file infected with WORK to the status of Browbeaten-Subordinant (BS).

If you suspect you are infected by WORK, your best course is to avoid BEER or WINE and apply the Flee-Or-Revise-My-Asinine-Thinking patch (FORMAT) to avoid these related infections.

For further information on how much worse these viruses are than WORK, and to avoid the effect of introducing the WIFE virus, see the volumes of documentation on a related virus, Girlfriend 1.0 (historical.)
