Hey guys! I thought this was interesting! I got it in an email!

Read this before your next gas fill-up. This world gets sicker
everyday!



Folks:
Please take a couple minutes to read this warning about Gas Pumping
Handles. Warning: Look at the gas pump handle BEFORE you pump your gas.
Please read and forward to anyone you know who drives a car.

My name is Captain Abraham Sands of the Jacksonville, Florida, Police
Department. I have been asked by state and local authorities to write
this e! mail in order to get the word out to car drivers of a very
dangerous prank that is occurring in numerous states. Some person or
persons have been affixing hypodermic needles to the underside of gas
pump handles! These needles appear to be infected with HIV positive
blood. In the Jacksonville area alone, there have been 17 cases of
people being stuck by these needles over the past five (5) months. We
have verified reports of at least 12 others in various states around
the
country. It is believed that these may be copycat incidents due to
someone reading about the crimes or seeing them reported on television.
At this point no one has been arrested and catching the perpetrator(s)
has become our top priority. Shockingly, of the 17 people ! who where
stuck, 8 have tested HIV positive and because of the nature of the
disease, the others could test positive in a couple years.

Evidently the consumers go to fill their car with gas, and when picking
up the pump handle get stuck with the infected needle.

IT IS IMPERATIVE TO CAREFULLY CHECK THE HANDLE of the gas pump each
time
you use one. LOOK AT EVERY SURFACE YOUR HAND MAY TOUCH, INCLUDING UNDER
THE HANDLE!

If you do find a needle affixed to one, immediately contact your local
police department so they can collect the evidence.
