Parody chain letter (published). Wife exchange. US,
1959.
This chain letter was started by a man like yourself, in the hope
that it might bring relief and happiness to tired businessmen. Unlike most
chain letters, this doesn't cost anything. Just send a copy of this chain
letter to five of your friends who are equally tired! Then, bundle up your
wife and send her to the man whose name is at the top of the list, and add
your name to the bottom!
When your name reaches the top of the list you
will receive 16,478 women, and some of them will be dandies.
Have faith - do not break the chain! One man did
and the poor guy got his old lady back.
The Saturday Evening Post, May 23,
1959, "We have finally reached the ultimate in chain letters." Editor received
from some "anonymous genius" above parody. He had apparently not seen it
before.
