The local news tonight had a story on those credit card offers we get in the mail all the time and a site you can register at to get them to stop. It will take several months for them to do so but is worth registering.

I just called the credit card company and asked them to opt me out of future mailings. It was immediate.

Yeah me too. About 60% or so of my mail is credit card offers. I've worn out 2 shredders from just them alone.

What I hate most is that my name is on every piece paper in the envelop so I have to shred all of it... annoys me to no end. They also make these things hard to shred, which pisses me off even more.

Ummm, folks, listen to an urban cowboy of a different drummer.

We have given up on shredders, it is a waste of our precious rime, we now have a much better plan.

I been playing some music lately and feel like rhyming.

junk mail from company A
junk mail from company B
they both send an S.A.S.E.
Don't you see ?

send the junk from company A to company B
it costs you nothing in that S.A.S.E.

just stuff all their shit into the mailbox,
they got a reply,
citibank wants a keybank card
do they wonder why ?

keybank wants a citibank card
the directors wonder why
the local paper wants new windows
and the sewer department wants to fly

the gutter cleaners need shaving cream
and bill gates needs some cash
and the police athletic league
will be free of diaper rash

Now you know how I got my name.
