Why be small-potatoes about your junk-mail pranks? Instead of attaching a postage-paid business reply envelope to a brick, why not tape the envelope to a large, rotting vegetable? Why not tape it to that old beater car of yours that you can't get any decent resale out of anyway? I for one would like to see some *serious* anti-mail-solicitation techniques discussed here. Speaking of large, rotting vegetables, why not tape that postage-paid envelope to your ex-spouse? You might as well get some practical use out of whatever prank you decide on.

Why not tape the reply card to the postperson and solve two problems at once?

Once I went to a college where we did strange things, like try to mail objects with postage-paid return envelopes. But there's a catch. You can't send more than a coupla ounces! (The brick came back...) However, I do have another idea, one I exercise myself. I save up all those irritating little buggers (sometimes you get two to a junk letter!) and once in a while send them ALL back with computer-printed labels attached that say: STAMP OUT JUNK MAIL. If you do this, do be nice to charities (the real ones), and watch out that you remove or obliterate your name from those where it's preprinted (or they might just subscribe you anyway!!).
