It's mail time!


This pig is nosy.
Like, "Oh, you're eating food? Give me some. Please? Please? Please?
Look at how big and watery I can make my eyes. I can has your food now?"
And it works. He always gets the last bite.
I'm trying to learn his tricks so that Ryan will
take me for ice cream any time I ask.
Unfortunately, when I make my eyes big I just look like an insane person.
But, you know who else is nosy?
Credit card companies.
They keep mailing us applications we don't want.
But the best part of credit card applications is
that they come with a prepaid return envelope.
So, what you do is you take all of your unwanted junk mail
("Oh, you're not in need of a garage door replacement? 
What about some coupons for Hardees breakfast sandwiches?
I'll bet the credit card company is hungry.")
and you stick it in the prepaid returned envelope,
then you mail the envelope back to the credit card company.
I'm curious who opens the mail there.
I hope they find this game as amusing as we do. 

P.S. Speaking of nosy...those questions from yesterday?
Those were pretty phenomenal. I can't wait to answer them!

    Our pups are the saaaame way! It's heartbreakingly annoying.

    And, seriously, we probably get at least 1 credit card application a day. They should jump on the "being green" bandwagon and lay off with the paper!

    p.s. you're super cute in the pictures from your post yesterday :)

    YOU'RE A FREAKING GENIUS! I typically write all over the application about how I don't want their credit card so stop sending it to me! And it usually works after about the 20th time. I mostly like your idea more.

    Next time I get a letter from the credit card companies, totally doing this...it'd be fun to put a naked picture of someone in there too, but that could be illegal...not sure.

    Credit Card companies, I'm so rich I don't need credit cards. I spit money. I'm also lying, a lot.

    And, you like ice cream? Since when?
