Junk Mail

For those of you who are not content to just put your name on no mailing lists. Or just use things like Green Dimes. Here is an idea that will exact revenge on your bulk mailing nemesi(or is it nemisises?) But basically its easy, just take that envelope with the postage already paid. Tape it to a box with a brick, all your junk mail, or the head of a horse and drop it into a mail box.
