It was a pretty famous email that was passed around awhile. Some guy sent it through his work email account to all of us co-workers, and it was passed around throughout the company and went international. Anyone seen it before? I just came across it again and thought I'd post it here.

Quote:
URBAN LEGENDS:
"So I've been in Korea for about a week and a half now and what can I say, LIFE IS GOOD. I've got a brand new 2000 sq. foot 3 bedroom apt. with a 200 sq. foot terrace running the entire length of my apartment with a view overlooking Korea's main river and nightline. Why do I need 3 bedrooms? Good question. The main bedroom is for my queen size bed, where CHUNG is going to *beep* every hot chick in Korea over the next 2 years (5 down, 1,000,000,000 left to go). The second bedroom is for my harem of chickies, and the third bedroom is for all of you fuckers when you come out to visit my ass in Korea. I go out to Korea's finest clubs, bars and lounges. I know I was a stud in NYC but I pretty much get about, on average, 5-8 phone numbers a night and at least 3 hot chicks that say that they want to go home with me every night I go out. I What can I say...life is good, CHUNG is KING of his domain here in Seoul. So, all of you fuckers better keep in touch and start making plans to come out and visit my ass ASAP, I'll show you guys an unbelievable time....Oh, by the way, someone's gotta start fed-exing me boxes of domes. I brought out about 40 but I think I'll run out of them by Saturday. Laters, CHUNG"
-Peter Chung, formerly of The Carlyle Group; Certified Dumb Ass for sending this on the corporate e-mail system

Is that guy gay? I want to be shown a good time but not in that sense.

Tiger Beer why aren't you sleeping or getting some?

I thought you were a stud.

Nah, I'm more of a borderline insomniac. I just go out and get drunk to help with the sleeping process.

I read about this two years ago in Time magazine, but had never read the actual e-mail until now. But there's something that confuses me: at the top of the article it says "urban legends". Why? Is this another BS "news" story like the guy who was suffocated by a stripper's boobs?

Enquiring minds want to know.

Snopes says it's true. Good enough for me.

There is also the true story where a woman is sent a dirty joke involving blow jobs by her boyfriend, and then in the resulting replies, the girl mentions the guy's "cum was yum" (ha ha....think of blow jobs and then a word that rhymes with yum, if I'm gonna be censored!)
Well, then the guy sent out the email to his friends saying "Hey nice compliment from a girl, huh?" and the thing took on a life of its own from there.

Story/email text is 100% accurate, as I know a few folks at Carlyle. Ironically, Carlyle's Seoul office probably spends a few hundred grand (yes, I mean $) a year "entertaining" certain FSS people in exactly the same fashion King Chung described his endeavours.

Actually the original one didn't say 'urban legends' or anything... I just happened to come across it again.. and I decided to make zero modifications on it..

But yeah, as I see above by The Lemon's Snope reference, its true.. pretty funny..

An interesting thing would also be to know who here has sent or received kind of questionable emails that you'd never want to circulate.

I think all you teachers who had high hopes of slinging d--k around town better change jobs. Guess in Korea, when girls see guys in $1000 dollar suits, driving a sweetass car like a Porshe, the p---y literally hits you in the face.

Funny is a company firing someone over that email. Too many companies are anal over what goes through their email network.

I worked for a similar company, Goldman Sachs (investment bank) and same policy. Mainly because every email you send has the company name attached to it. So this very thing could create a bad image of the company, and effect future contracts, etc.

Its anal.. but so is the corporate world in general. Plus I recall a meeting about it as well that mentioned newspaper reporters might get ahold of such email and be published as 'coming from an employee of '________', rumor has it that...

(Doesn't apply to this case in general.. but just using personal email and talking about whatever through their email system)..

'Presentation Specialist'.. basically the Investment bankers would scribble down stuff on pieces of paper.. (pie charts, graphs, tables, text, diagrams).. and we'd take that and re-create it on the computer using powerpoint, visio, ms excel, and ms word. Most everything went into certain templates and such to keep it GS consistent. Good job and good pay. From that they'd create 'pitch books' to present to clients.
