Default junk mail

i have done the junk mail as a prank once. WOW did i say WOW !!!! i managed an auto center and a co worker moved in with his wife to be [ a school teacher] so we deceided to fill his mail box up. well, we gathered up a few free mail stuff per person [ about 250 free mailers] we mailed.... he never said anything...... we mailed again [about 250 again] he came to work one day with a stack of mail about a foot high!!! [ even had vcr's] we had made a mistake and mailed a golf mailer and the code let him know it came from our work address. WE WERE BUSTED . he was acusing his buddies and raising holy hell with them and his wife to be was about to go to the post office to file charges, when he figured us out.. we escaped without issues but she has NEVER spoke to any of us again. [ i have left now] but still talk to him. its a funny conversation now but then it got really out of hand because they sold his address to others and the snow ball effect was rolling extremely fast. it took about a year or longer to get to reasonable. he got everything from carpet samples, walpaper samples wood samples wedding dress samples, vcr's out the ying yang,how to raise chickens, hunt elk , baby information,birth control inquiries,land purchase information, vacation informatioon and the list went on and on ... there wasn't a dr. office or library on any of out homes with a free mailer left in them!. there mail box didnt hold the mail some days and the postmaster laid it on the condo floor of left a pick up notice. SO yes it works but be sure before you send eniugh to make a difference! it cant be stopped it just has to run its course. did i say he was a prep guy[ now wife is same] and we sent as you seen many outdoor items and and other stuff. his income was put as 150.000 per year!!!! funny then, scary when busted, funny now, would never do again!
