I got an email forwareded to me just now

----- I HAD TO SEND THIS ONE!
YOU'LL SEE WHY AT THE END.

An old lady walked into a Grocery Store.
She wanted to buy the best dog food in the world for her little puppy.
She went up to the cash register to buy the food.
The sales-lady told her that the store did not allow old ladies to buy animal food
unless they show the actual animal because a lot of old ladies like to eat the animal food themselves.
So, the old lady went home, got her dog and went back to the store to buy her dog food.
The next day she came back to buy the best cat food around.
But the Sales lady told her the same thing, so the old lady went back home and
brought her cat to the Grocery Store to buy the cat food.
The next day the old lady went to the Grocery Store again carrying a big container.
She went up to the the sales lady and said, " Put your hand inside here " .
The Saleslady shook her head. " NO " , she said, " there is probably something in
there that will bite me! " .
" I promise you that there is nothing in here that will bite you. " , the old lady said.
So the Sales lady stuck her hand inside the container and screamed.
To find out what was inside the container you must send it to at least 8 people.
When the computer says your mail has been sent, hit ALT-8 and the container
will pop up on your screen.

I didn't do what it says. Does anyone know what pressing alt-8 will do?

I have no idea - but it DOES make you suspicius when it tells you to forward it, and then press some unusual key combination.

I did. I'm just curios as to whether or not hitting alt-8 does anything.
