            FOR NO REASON SHOULD THIS CHAIN BE BROKEN!!!!!

Col Tom Parker recieved this chain in 1953, and asked his valet to make 24 copies and send them along with a bill of services rendered. One week later he discovered Elvis and Olive Davis. A record executive recieved the chain and lost it among his Bar Mitzvah bills. Five days later his office was dismantled. He found the chain while writing his novel, sent out fifty copies and got a better job and a suspended sentence. Pamela Pelland recieved the chain but was too busy meditating. Five days later her record was released. Richard Neely recieved the letter and was asked to revise the remixing of a top Disco hit. He found the PAST DUE chain in a script and never got credit on the album. Twenty copies later, he bought the script. Neil Bogart recieved it, sent out twenty copies in unstamped envelopes and the very next week sat down on a piece of discarded bublegum. David Geffen recieved the chain by opening someone elses mail and faithfully followed the instructions to a "T" and was rewarded a promotion from mail boy to mail secretary. He recieved the chain again in '74, this time he was too busy to bother with it. Five days later he met Irving Azoff. Helen Reddy recieved the chain but could only afford to send out ten copies. The next week she met Jeff Vale ... you figure it out. Roger Steffens apologizes for the banality, has no idea whether this is for 'real' and is too chickenshit to break the chain. Because I love and trust Bryan, and because, what the hell,it can't hurt, Big Mac sends it on. See ski see. Two years PAST DUE he sends it to you. (Anybody need a mail secretary?)
