Hahaha! That's so funny.

Too bad you'll never get to see faces of the MCI (etc) employees when they open your package.

This must be something going around the net, because, ironically enough, this was just discussed/ posted at
www.ccstreetscene.com
Which is another place I call "home" besides Shmups.com

Oh well, its cool nontheless, but the guy in question did get BANNED from his local post office.

I do have a few auto batteries and tires that I need to get rid of!!!

Nah, he was just banned from mailing postage-paid packages. Sounds very worthwhile; too bad I don't get any mail spam.

You are a lucky, lucky person. I get on average 4-6 pieces a day. I tend to stuff them all inside one of the postage paid envelopes and mail them back.

I never thought about doing it with a big box-o-stuff.

There is a new "Customer Tracking Number" on most of them now, and Supposedly they will take you to court over it now. Any truth to this I don't know, just passing information.

my friends and i used to use those postage paid envelopes all the time. we would change the shipping address on them and get free postage.

of course, sometimes the stuff didn't get to where it was going, but we never sent important stuff anyway.

then, one of my friends was charged with mail fraud so we stopped doing it. his case was thrown out luckily.

So I guess you can just remove the tracking number with your ink remover of choice and none will be the wiser.

It takes you a lot less time to just throw the letter away.

I think it would bother me more to pack up an old tire than to just receive junk mail.

Diddo, but that webpage is still hilarious!

I've always just mailed the blank forms back. It's no trouble that way, and I'm still making them pay a little postage.

The only junkmail I get is stuff like Jerry Falwell's newsletter, with such great articles as to why Finding Nemo is the devil's movie.

I remember when I was a kid, I was excited to get those "You may win $1 million!" because I was like, hey, awesome, $1 million for me. After watching that Doug episode, I found out it was a scam. The bastards.

.

THAT in itself is bad enough. Falwell is a public nuisance and a disgrace to televangelists. I take the televangelists with a grain of salt especially after such winners as Jim Bakker and Oral Roberts. A local church priest is far more credible than these guys.

I had a laugh about the "counter junk-mail" thing though it's hardly worth getting banned from your local Post Office.

I get a TON of junk in the mail, but no postage paid envelopes recently.

I first saw a version of this idea on Maddox's site.

You can tape one of those envelopes to a fucking rock?

Wow. That's good stuff.

Believe it or not I know exactly what you're talking about.

Reminds me of a quote on Bash.

http://www.bash.org/?127039

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

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

<wolf> 3. Now open the credit card mail from pile A and find the Business
Reply Mail Envelope.

<wolf> 4. Take the coupons from pile B and stuff them in the envelope you hold in your hand.

<wolf> 5. Drop the stuffed to the brim envelopes in your mail and walk away
whistling.

<wolf> 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.

<wolf> 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.
