We now get wireless news at our house!
And here’s a mail item I’d like to title: “Failure to Consider the Target Audience”:
And with that, I’m off to town for my Saturday Dadcation. Don’t break the Intertubes in my absence, folks.

Hey! I got one of those “prayer rug” magic-eye things, too.
I told Jesus that if he could make the offensive mailing disappear, I’d worship him for the rest of my life, but I don’t think he’s that hard-up for followers.

Newspapers? They still make those things? How quaint!

What is this….national “mail for Jesus” week or something? I got one of those “please convert” thingies yesterday.

Oh, it wasn’t even a proselytizing mailer. It just plain assumed that a.) we’re Christians, b.) we’d send in a prayer request and a “gift”, and c.) we’re coveting that “blessed” cross they were promising in return.
I should have sent them a few bucks just to see what kind of crosses they have stockpiled back at the warehouse for dissemination to the faithful. It’s probably some Chinese-made plastic jobbie.

Mine might have been that too, actually. Didn’t open it. I tend to throw anything that has biblical passages written on the outside of it in the trash. Every once in a while I’ll get stuff left on my door knob from the Jehovah’s Witnesses too. Surprisingly, there haven’t been any Mormons knocking on the door, even though there’s an LDS church up the street. Too bad, I was going to try and convert them to the Church of His Noodley Appendage if they tried. XD

How to have fun with JW’s:
(1) Spot them coming up the walk
(2) Toss on the wife’s HOODED white bath robe, hood “up”
(3) Grab the biggest knife in the kitchen
(4) RUSH back the door before they knock
(5) AS they reach up to knock, throw the door wide open
(6) In your best “psycho” impersonation, yell “COME ON! — You’re just in time for the SACRIFICE!!!” and run into one of the back rooms…
They will be gone when you peek out, I promise.
Oh — just in case…
Get back into your usual weekend attire (I prefer tighty-whities and a stained-up “wife-beater” tee) and get the bowl of cocoa-pebbles or fruity-pebbles ready so you can present a VERY different character when the police arrive…
Then pretend to have NO CLUE what they’re talking about. Sudden understanding followed by unrestrained giggling while asking — “Really?!!! they said… REALLY??!!” — is usually quite convincing.
Enjoy!
