Or my revenge. He just helped.
Allow me to explain.
I got an "urgent" letter (at the shop) wanting $229 per quarter to list my company on the net. I had to work to find that (tiny printed) cost.
As is my normal custom when I get irritated enough at a company that includes a "business reply mail" envelope, I stuff it full of crap and mail it back sans my name.
One of my cats, Mr Cheeks (so named for his whisker area being a little on the fat side, which I find hilarious) is of the long hair variety. We use clippers to shear him (not to the skin) to reduce the volume a little. Keeps his plumbing working and surprises on our floors to a minimum. The fact that he lets us do this to him blows me away. When I first got him (he was a stray) it took the vet and three techs with welding gloves to handle him.
We had just giving him his summer trim just a few days ago. I stuffed the fur in a bag to contain it and decided it would make the perfect donation to the yellow page scam bastards trying to make off with my cash.

I would say yes, but I'm not a Postal Inspector.
Uncle Sugar has already gotten his money out of it.
;D
Awsome!
I once mailed them (the internet advertisers) an invoice for my time reading and dealing with their bs. They claimed I owed them money.
I never received a payment?
I own a couple of domains, and nothing sends me into a frothing rage quite like those jackasses who send me envelopes with "IMPORTANT BILLING INFORMATION ENCLOSED!!1!1eleventy!!" on the front which look just like an invoice but is actually their way of getting me to sign up for their SEO services. All over the letter it says "AMOUNT DUE BY XX/XX/XX! PAY NOW TO AVOID A LATE FEE!" You have to read all over it very carefully to find the sentence in extremely small type that says, "This is not actually an invoice, but if you pay the amount listed, it will constitute your acceptance of our service agreement and you will be billed regularly for this."
I'd like to apply the business end of a 2x4 to those parasites.
Want me to send you some cat hair?

I could supply you nearly weekly....

as long as you don't put bodily fluids or poo in the envelope you are OK.
you can also tape the envelope to a brick. they will pay full first class rates to ship themselves a brick.
axe me how i know.

Now I have to know: who recieved the brick? And what made them the lucky recipient? [laugh]
Bah-hahaha!
Freaking hilarious!
I love the "MEOW!"
[clap] [clap] [clap]
Somehow I think the readers of this thread may appreciate this:
A Brazilian girl I worked with recently lost her wallet in Manly (Australia).
She never expected to get it back.
Amazingly it turned up in a Post bag as her address was on her drivers license.
The wallet was intact with all her cards.........but the cash was gone.
The Perps must of had a sense of humour , seeing on her license she was a Brazilian national.
They shaved all their pubic hair off and filled up the wallet where the money used to be. [clap] [laugh]

hmm
well it's been about 20 years so i am in the clear
i kept getting "sign up now" offers from long distance companies. remember when MCI was a code-dial?
i got to the point of just getting a brick from the backyard, taping the envelope to it and putting it out for pickup.
they picked it up every time.
i figure i personally caused MCI to be bought by WorldCOM
The Meow! envelope has been deployed

Awesome idea! I am definitely doing that the next time I get annoyed by junk mail.
