"The Big Scare"*
*(from 2002)

I was sent this by a pretty trustworthy friend, please read on:

Hey all, I am not usually in scare-mongering and Internet-based
rumor spreading, however this came to me earlier to day and it
is something I felt I ought to share. I am sure that like minded
people will understand/appreciate this warning.

Yesterday my Auntie's friend's daughter was on the on the train
travelling from Johannesburg to Cape Town. A man of Arabic-
appearance got off the train and she noticed that he had left his
bag behind. She grabbed the bag and ran after him, caught up
with him at the top of the stairs and handed him back his bag.

He was extremely grateful and reached into his bag which
appeared to contain large bundles of bank notes. He offered
her a reward, but she refused.

So he looked round, made sure nobody was looking and
whispered to her: "I can never repay your kindness, but I
will try to with a word of advice for you."

"Stay away from The Hard Rock Cafe"

She was terrified. "Is there going to be an attack?" she whispered.

"No" he whispered back "I went there yesterday evening -
the food was terrible and the waitress was rude."
