Subject: What to do with junk mail
Date: Tue, Jun 26 2001 00:00:02 EDT

Sorry for the crazy message on Saturday: I'd gone away for the weekend without filling the humor queue, and my software was so eager to send out a joke, it grabbed something else by mistake. Bad software!

Well, while I was gone, my friend Laura F. sent me this suggestion...

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...
