When I was in college we had one professor that everyone hated with a passion. So as the years went by about 30 of us would sign him up, his university mail box for as much junk as we could find.

Anything from those give away boxes in the liquor stores, credit card offers at the airport to magazine adds for information on everything from parenting guides to cook books.

I know that I alone must have signed him up for over a 100 different things.

Another guy claimed about 200 and God only knows just how many more folks got wind of the scheme and joined in.

I can only imagine how many mailing lists his name and address is on.

LOL... in college one of my buddies signed me up for this “romance novel” type of book club. Hundreds of books later I finally convinced them to stop sending them, as I wouldn’t be paying for them.

One mailing list that simply amazes me is Cabelas. It’s like every week there’s a couple of huge catalogs... and then a few times a year they send their MONSTER hard-bound master catalog... it MUST cost a fortune to do all that.

I got a liberal ex-boyfriend onto Pat Buchanan’s mailing list.
