Default Spam Mail

So, tonight while paying bills, I gathered all of my postage paid return envelope spam mail that I have received in the last month or so. It's all going back. I tried to think of some clever stuff to put in the envelopes, but all I came up with was including a bunch of tree leaves, pine needles, small stones and grass clippings. In each one.
While searching for "fun stuff" to put in each one, I came across this site and thought it was pretty funny - too time consuming for me, but funny nonetheless: http://www.vertical-visions.com/_tem...id/index2.html

Does anybody else do this, any ideas, or do I just have too much time on my hands?

I forgot to mention that last month everyone got their envelope back with an 8 x 10 photo of a huge turd floating in a public toilet. Not my pic, I found it on the net.

I always save the coupons to send back to junk mailer, but my wife makes me throw the stuff away before I get a chance. [&:]

...any ideas...?
Go into the ladies room and find the biohazard recepticle....if you catch my drift.

Daycares have an endless supply of used baby diapers, don't they?

Send 'em an old TV....or two.

Grease strategic places on the inside of the box you're sending to them.....hell anti-seize sucks even more!

I know this is just all in fun but being in the print business whereby we get paid by companies to do mass mailouts ... keep in mind that it is these companies sending out 100's of thousands of junk mail that subsidize and keep your postage costs the lowest in the world ... under 50¢ for a letter anywhere in the nation would be more than quadrupled without these guys; don't believe me check the postage rates in some other countries .. you got to take the bad with the good ...

I did get a chuckle out of these ideas though

Cool thing is though, that by sending back the prepaid envelopes and having fun while at it is also helping to keep postage costs low I believe. Everybody should do it! Of course, it will turn our postage system into a big joke.

Yes and no. Yes on the more mail for USPS but no in that the companies have to pay for that extra postage on the other end thereby reducing future mailout campaign funds and reducing future USPS mail.
