Junk Mail Backlash
I love junk mail. Especially if they have Freepost coupons, or reply-paid envelopes. Learned this one a few years ago from some friends in Leeds, and it's never really got boring.

Played with a friend, this can lead to almost endless early morning entertainment. Simply put, you send in a coupon with your chosen address, but a fake name. Now nobody's going to write to Mr F**k, or Miss C**t, so it has to be a bit cleverer than that. These things are almost always processed by temp workers and/or copy typists, who aren't really reading what you put down, just sending it straight from brain to fingers. Maybe one in a hundred didn't get through, because someone was paying attention, but we reckon that 99% of the time, the people processing this stuff either don't spot it, or get a giggle out of it themselves and pass it on through.

So for several years, my friend and I have sent each other an assortment of wondrous names. A hearing aid company wrote to Mr D Eafazfuk. The Royal Marines sent a letter to Mr I Shootcivvies. A company offering treatment for impotence sent their brochure to Mr S Pooge. Some plumbing company wrote to Mr A Nuss-Finger-Browner, and that envelope was hand-written! There are so many wonderful synonyms and slightly obscure terms for so many activities, parts of the body, sexual escapades, that it's possible not to repeat yourselves for ages.

Possibly my favourite was one that I'm convinced only got to my door because by then the postie was enjoying the game too.

Evil - hell yeah - some mornings I've read Alastair's latest effort and laughed so hard I've pulled a muscle. Of course, that only makes the challenge of responding in kind all the more intense.

Length - a few years and counting.

Haha, that's ace.
I made a load of training guides for the staff at work, and used the name Arthur Fox-Hake for the person in all the screenshots =)

I'd like to
distance myself totally from this story. I find absolutely nothing funny about using the name R.Sole.

Now, if it was Hugh Janus on the other hand....
