Today, my wife received the big orange envelope in the mail. Her
personalized invitation to join the Handyman Club of America as a charter
member. How many years now have they been recruiting charter members? I
don't know how in the hell they got her name. Even got the "Mrs." right in
the salutation.
I snagged her free gift - the glue spreader, aka a drill bit guide. That
makes four I have now. My kids drew some pictures, my wife grabbed some
expired coupons and we stuffed the postage paid envelope full of our "junk
mail" and sent it back to them.

LMAO ! I'll have to try that with the next one.

Yeah, I know how that goes. I've been a Popular Mechanics subscriber for
years and years.

One of my purposes in life is to bring a bit of the surreal to others
lives. Hence "diseased".

My daughter, now 12, received her invitation to join about a year or so
back. I have no clue where they picked up her name, either.

Try "Sieze and Desistered" some time, too.

Since it _was_ postage paid, you could have taped the empty envelope
to a cinder block. :)

I think that was jo4hn's point -- removal vs. burned.

ROTFL! ;-)
Which "disease" are your "diseased" with? Warts? Wasp stings?
Or, perhaps, you write "deceased" on the envelope?
