If everybody hates telemarketers, then who is buying what they are selling?
 
 I mean, if they were universally hated, nobody would buy anything and they would not be economically viable.

clue;
 
 "JERRY" "JERRY" "JERRY"
 
 
 Actually, a favorite trick of mine is when I get junk mail I just put the response card of one "can't miss" offer in the prepaid envelope of another and vice-versa. That way they have to pay for the postage.....fun, so much fun in my pathetic little world!

I fill out response cards with the following address:
 
 1601 Argonne Pl. NW
 Washington DC 20009
 
 I heartily encourage everyone else to do the same.
 
 Just check the "Bill Me Later" box.
