I have some extra landscaping bricks lying around out back I need to get rid of.

"Please join others in Brockton fighting for President {sic} Bush's critical economic reforms, court appointments, and initiatives in the war on terror.

"Please answer today!

Patty"

Yeah, Patty. I have an answer for you...

About 30 pounds of patio brick, postage-paid.

4. I filled mine with some small lead fishing weights the BIL had
and fact sheets about * and the administration.

They will eventually drop you from the list if you pull this often enough. But it's fun while it lasts.

Do enjoy yourself but remember NO hazerdous or perishable materials if you want to stay out of the pokey. It's a crime.

10. You can go to jail for mailing urine and feces fed offense
But you CAN tape it to a BRICK and they have to pay for it - I used to do that all the time when I'd mail in parking tickets.. once paid with a box of pennies.

THere was a contractor in Alaska that found out he could save so much money by mailing concrete blocks to a remote site in Alaska individually rather than barging them in that they changed the law.. heard he built a fine school in the tundra through the post office :)

12. I remember when people used to stuff envelopes with glitter...
Edited on Fri Sep-23-05 10:11 AM by IanDB1
but now, a bunch of glitter could be mistaken for something less benign.

But I wish I had put pretzels in it before I sealed the box.

In any case, this will probably cost them about $60 in postage.
