Default Junk Mail

GOOD IDEA:

When you get those pre-approved letters in the mail for everything from credit cards to 2nd mortgages and junk like that, most of them come with postage paid return envelopes, right?

Well, why not get rid of some of your other junk mail and put it in these cool little envelopes!

Send an ad for your local chimney cleaner to American Express. Or a pizza coupon to Citibank.

If you didn't get anything else that day, then just send them their application back! Just make sure your
name isn't on anything you send them. Heck, you can send it back empty if you want to just to keep 'em
guessing!

Let's turn this into a chain letter! Eventually, the banks and credit card companies will begin getting all their crap back in the mail.

Let's let them know what it's like to get junk mail, and best of all... THEY'RE paying for it! Twice!

Let's help keep our postal service busy since they say e-mail is cutting into their business, and that's why they need to increase postage again!

Send this to a friend or two or three...or fifty....

Me tooo....in fact, some idiot of a friend set me some bedwetting counseling material....he put my name up on a list and ever since college, I've been getting junk mail from this damn institution.

Now I know what to do with all that junk mail. Right now, I have a 10 lb. bag of bedwetting mail, "buy your condoms direct" mail, underwear and diaper mail, etc. I was saving it for my buddy's wedding to litter his bed in the honeymoon suite after the wedding reception.....but now, I will "recycle" it

Gawd, I love it when other people think like me. I've been doing that for years. Sometimes, when one comes to "occupant". I fill out the form anyway:
Name: Mike Ocherts (or Heywood Jablome or Jack Mehoff)
Address: Sir or Esquire
Phone #: (put in a phone sex number here)
Sex: whenever (or hermaphrodite)

I really have fun with the dating service or the pscyhic ones.

Yep, that's what I do with it. The trick is put as much as you can in the envelope sice they have to pay by weight. Also I like to leave the envelope open with half of the stuff hanging out and a staple through it to secure everything. I figure there is a better chance it will be hand sorted and they might have to pay for that as well. Regardless, it puts a smile on my face knowing I am wasting their time and $$$.

Afriend of mine has been doing this religiously for years.
It makes him feel better, just wish I had that much time on my hands (either driving the stook or on here.....lol).

One of my friends put another on a gay porn mailing list. The stuff he gets is nothing short of scary. (ok funny too)
