10. One of the du'ers gave them a donation...
a bunch of pennies taped to the form so it would cost them more than what they got for the postage.

15. My mom got one too
She wrote on it "I AM A DEMOCRAT DON'T SEND ME THIS JUNK" .... I told her to include EVERYTHING they sent and maybe throw in a couple of newspaper clippings to make the envelope nice and plump ..... and expensive.

35. Yep...
...

POSTAGE
When mailing to the same city, address the envelope or package to yourself and put the name of the person you are sending it to where the return address generally goes. Mail it without postage and it will be "returned" to the sender. Because almost all letters are machine processed, any stamp that is the correct size will pass. Easter Seals and a variety of other type stamps usually get by the electronic scanner. If you put the stamp on a spot other than the far upper right corner, it will not be cancelled and can be used again by the person who gets your letter. If you have a friend working in a large corporation, you can run your organization's mail through their postage meter.

Those ridiculous free introductory or subscription type letters that you get in the mail often have a postage-guaranteed return postcard for your convenience. The next one you get, paste it on a brick and drop it in the mailbox. The company is required by law to pay the postage. You can also get rid of all your garbage this way.

38. Bricks don't weigh much, go to an auto dealer
ask them for any brake discs they are throwing out in the scrap barrels. They weigh about 40 lbs.

26. I remember reading the "brick" idea a few decades back in "Steal This Book" -
thought that was purdy cool!

But - though it doesn't weigh too much - "coathanger" sounds perfect in this case - (getting it into the envelope? - well, that's a story for another day!)

27. Kinda Sick of me but.....
I just got through walking my dog and picking up his poop in a poop bag. I got the mail and had one of those in my mail also. I through the letter away then I had a thought...I reached back into the trash, took out the envelope, rolled up the poop bag- he didn't crap to much, TO BAD, put the poop bag in the envelope and right back in the mail.

43. I tend to send those cards that come in magazines....
...when I get stuff like that.


When I get a credit-card solicitation, I stuff everything they send me, including the ripped-open envelope, into the pre-paid one and mail it back.


Recently I've been adding the blow-in cards from magazines. And the contents of those Val-Pak mailers. "10 Cigars for only $1" and "Make your own beef jerky" and stuff for carpet cleaning.

If I was determined, I could get pieces of sheet steel from work, cut them to fit in the envelope and mail THAT back to them. I'd probably write "DO NOT WANT" on it with a sharpie, too...

44. A note saying thanks for reminding me to donate to Obama!!
I got one to and have been deciding what to send, i wanted to send the pic that says i want the smartest mother fuckers in the room but my husband said i could get in trouble for sending profanity in the mail.

So i think i will send the above note...thanks for reminding me to donate to Obama, I went online today to his website, again thanks!

I think if we all did that it would drive them nuts!!!!!!!!!!!
