Of course, but the story is dumb :stickout. Hopefully the people receiving it will not be dumb enough to believe the dumb story and click on the dumb link :D.

Never doubt the level of stupidity to which the masses will stoop

Here's one for ya (edited for space):Subject: Considering Ordination? We can assist you.

INSTA-PRIEST believes that ordination should be given to all who ask. One of the benefits of being a LEGAL member of the clergy is that you will be authorized to perform the rites and ceremonies of the church. They include:

WEDDINGS - You can earn part-time income officiating marriages on weekends.

FUNERALS - The simple fact is that people die every day, providing a never-ending need for funeral officiates.

WANT TO START YOUR OWN CHURCH? After your ordination, you may start your own congregation! We can offer much assistance as you begin your new place of worship.

YOU RECEIVE a professionally printed 8-inch by 10-inch color certificate and Letter of Ordination/Proof of Minister Certification in your name. We pay the U.S. shipping. For Shipping OUTSIDE the U.S. please add $15.00.

The administrative costs for processing the ordination is only $29.00.
