You don't happen to have the url do you?  Think it would make an
amusing
read.

Sorry, no.  BTW, my nym is for humor value, and spam-avoidance, not
replies.

There exists a website by someone who enjoyed sending unusual things
through the US mail.  He once sent a brick, with proper postage,
no envelope.


Some friends used to wrap up bricks and returned them to companies they 
disliked using their prepaid response card taped to the outside for 
addressing.  Bulk mail can only be claimed in bulk after you've paid the 
freight and there was no weight max. associated with bulk reply 
cards.  Nice way to anonymously punish.
