I usually don\'t read junk email, but I read this one and it is the best idea I have ever read.
_____________________________________________
When you get ads in your phone or utility bill, include them with the payment. Let them throw it away.
When you get those pre approved letters in the mail for everything from credit cards to 2nd mortgages and junk like that, most of them come with postage paid return envelopes, right?
Well, why not get rid of some of your other junk mail and put it in these cool little envelopes!
Send an ad for your local dry cleaner to American Express. Or a pizza coupon to Citibank. (I especially liked this!) If you didn\'t get anything else that day, then just send them their application back!
If you want to remain anonymous, just make sure your name isn\'t on anything you send them.
You can Send it back empty if you want to just to keep them guessing!
Eventually, the banks and credit card companies will begin getting all their junk back in the mail.
Let\'s let them know what it\'s like to get junk mail, and best of all THEY\'RE paying for it! Twice!
Let\'s help keep our postal service busy since they say e-mail is cutting into their business, and that\'s why they need to increase postage again!

thats funny, gotta try it some day, another thing u can do is when telemarketers try to sell u something, go along with them and with they transfer u over to the company that deals with the transaction itself, hang up, the people selling them have to have like a 97 percent passing rate, otherwise they get fired, and another thing is that they pay the other company like a 100 some odd dollars once they start to transfer u each time.:p

Hmm......gotta try that sometime *adds to the list of evil things to do*
