Default Non fishing related... Rivers on the way up.

I just had too!
Since I am sinning by doing a non fishing related thread, I figured it better be a good one! It is!
Got any good e mails lately?
I think this is Classic-- and a great idea!!!

'tis the season for giving...back!


When you get ads in your phone or utility bill,
include them with the payment. Let them throw it away.
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! If you
want to remain
anonymous, just make sure your name isn't on
anything you send them. You can send it back empty if you want
to just to keep them guessing! Eventually, the banks
and credit card companies will begin getting all their
junk 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...!!!


================================================== ====


I have frequently considered this, but rarely done it.
I think it's a great idea. More satisfaction than just
tossing it out (or you could burn it and save on heating).


Now, if anyone has any suggestions for pounding junk
e-mailers, I'm open to suggestions.

Heres one:

A Love Story: Which Girl Do I Marry?

A young man had seriously dated three girls and was finally faced

with the dilemma of which to marry. As a test he gave each of

them one thousand dollars.

The first girl went for a complete hair and face make over, new

clothes, and new shoes. She returned to show off her new look

saying, "I want to be at my most beautiful for you. Why?

Because I love you, dear.">

The second girl returned with new hockey and golf equipment, a

new stereo, VCR, and month's supply of beer saying, "I bought all

these things for you. They're my gifts to you, because I love>you so.">

The third girl invested the $1,000 wisely and very quickly

doubled her original amount. She reinvested the profits which

continued to multiply and returned the first thousand to the

young man saying, "I have taken your money and made it grow as an

investment in our future together. That's how much I love you, my>dear."

The young man was very impressed by all of their responses. He

then gave long and careful consideration and finally married the

one with the biggest breasts.
