…or something like that.<\/p>\n

Out of sheer curiosity, I was looking for some entertaining stuff on the interwebs, and found these two videos.\u00a0I enjoyed watching both of these videos. I hope you do, too.<\/p>\n

There are all kinds of scams running these days, as you probably already know. My particular favorite was getting a fat envelope from NetSpend, a debit card company that rips off its customers, addressed to John Smith at my street address.That’s such an unusual name, isn’t it?<\/p>\n

But there’s nobody named John Smith here in my castle, so I wrote ‘WRONG ADDRESS’ in big, bold letters along with “RETURN TO SENDER” on the front of the envelope and put it back in the mailbox. If you get something like that, don’t bother opening it. Just do the “RETURN TO SENDER” and ‘WRONG ADDRESS’ thing and put it back in the mailbox for pickup. The Post Office doesn’t care, and they’re under the gun, anyway, because they aren’t allowed to work overtime any more. Budget cuts – stuff like that.<\/p>\n

I also cook.<\/p>\n
