Make them pay the postage!!

Anyone else get like a bazillion pieces of crap mail every day at the post office? For the longest time, I have been shredding, recycling, or just throwing out all the junk mail we get, but Melba, one of the ladies behind the counter at our local PO, tells me that the companies sending this volumnous pile of crap only have to PAY for the postage if the inside envelope gets mailed back to them.

Hmmmmmmmmm........

So let me get this straight.... if I just simply fill the little "No Postage Necessary If Mailed In The United States" envelope with the contents of their own junk mail, and send it back, it costs them money?

Heh. I have a lot more out-going mail these days.

BTW, Melba is a funny lady. She often tells me jokes while I'm standing there as they are processing all my packages. Here's a joke from Melba -

Q. What is the difference between a Northern fairy tale, and a Southern fairy tale?

A. A Northern fairy tale starts off, "Once upon a time....."
A Southern fairy tale starts off, "Hey! Y'all ain't gonna believe this shit....."
