Wed Dec 31, 2008 11:36 PM CST : Having fun at the expense of crooks!
Most of you probably will not find this funny, but I do because it's a bit of karma... anyhow, there's a certain dating service which is the poster child for ripoff, and they always used to send me these dumb little questionnaires in the hopes that I'd fill one out and come to their office to get fleeced out of some ridiculous amount of money.

Well, I recently found a couple of those old things when I was sorting through a bunch of papers from a couple of years ago... and there was a business reply mail envelope in there addressed to them!!! devil This will be great, I'm going to make a hundred photocopies of that envelope, then paste them onto boxes full of rocks, bricks, sand, scrap iron, tires, and all sorts of heavy junk to stick those crooks with some big postage bills! I'm also going to mail the photocopies to my friends around the country, and encourage them to mail their junk to the ripoff dating service! The ripoff dating service better be glad I'm such a nice guy, or I'd send them white powder and bombs.

You know what goes around, comes around... I'm making it come around a little faster, giving karma a push in the right direction. banana

You gonna get in trouble! You are not allowed to do that. Postal fraud!

The envelope-on-heavy box won't work. Abbie Hoffman had that trick in his book _Steal aThis Book_ 40 years ago, and apparently is was good for a while. Copying a postpaid envelope, of course, is mail fraud, but I con't know how you'd get caught.

My great-grandmother used to blow a police whistle in the phone at them.

It still works, as long as it's in a proper box and weighs less than 70 lbs. At my day job, I open up heavy boxes of outdated college guides all the time which have BRM labels pasted to them. One guy was mad at MCI and he mailed them 6 tires. It's all in the permit number on the label.

Urban legend has it that Uncle Sam hires thousands of psychics and keeps them sitting inside windowless rooms, doing nothing but using their powers to detect people who are thinking bad thoughts. Then they send a couple of guys in suits and sunglasses to make the bad-thinkers disappear.

And they're probably monitoring this thread rolling on the floor laughing

Karma IS a b*tch... you'll probably be seeing guys in suits wearing sunglasses following you in your dreams for the rest of your life.

Yeah, but then if one of my friends elsewhere around the country sent it, that would mean more suspects. When those boxes with BRM labels on them arrive at my day job, they have no postmarks to tell you where they were sent from... just a rubber stamp informing you that "$___ has been billed to your BRM/postage due account".

BTW the business reply labels in question say "first class mail"... so a heavy box full of rocks may set the crooked dating service back 50 bucks. Imagine a dozen friends also sending them a couple of heavy boxes each week. One friend says she writes obscenities on the bricks she sends them!tongue
