humour about junk mail (true story)

February 3, 2004

1. Save every Free Credit Card Offer you get, Put it in pile A

2. Save every Free Coupon You get, put that in pile B

3. Now open the credit card mail from pile A and find the Business

Reply Mail Envelope.

4. Take the coupons from pile B and stuff them in the envelope you hold

in your hand.

5. Drop the stuffed to the brim envelopes in your mail and walk away

whistling.

I have now received two phone calls from the credit card companies

telling me that they received a stuffed envelope with coupons rather

then my application. They informed me that it they are not pleased that

they footed the bill for the crap I sent them. I reply with " It says

Business Reply Mail " I'm suggesting coupons to you to ensure that your

business is more successful. They promptly hang up on me.

Now, I did this for about a month before it got boring, so I got an

added idea! I added exactly 33 cents worth of pennies to the envelope

so they paid EXTRA due to the weight. I got a call informing me about

the money, I said it was a mistake and I demanded my change back. After

yelling at the clerk and then to the supervisor they agreed to my

demands and cut me a check for the money. I hold in my hand at this

very moment a check from GTE Visa for exactly 33 cents.

**************

someone else did similar after receiving repeated things from

prudential, and after telephoning to get off their email list, the return

envelope trick was successful however she 'weighted' the envelope with some

refrigerator magnets, inaddition to alllll the paper...and was never contacted

again....smile,

LOL, my husband does something similiar...however it is with

telemarketers. He always says " I can't talk right now, but why don't

you give me your HOME phone number and I'll call you when it's

convienient for me...like during your supper " . Stops em cold every

time ;-)
