Dear Student Life
Dear Student Life,
I hope you understand that I'd rather have tacos. I should back up. In the past two weeks I've received more than 6 pieces of mail from you. All in their full color glory telling me about the wonders of you. A magazine. Several letters. A few flyers and poster that, and I'm not kidding here, could substitute as a comforter on my toddler's bed. I'm not sure how you got my address, but I have my hunches. I used my amazing math skills to add up the total for the postage of the pieces you've sent. I'm not sure how much your materials cost, but it seems the postage alone adds up to around $8.45 that you spent on me. I'd rather have tacos. It seems you like the word experience a lot which is great as long as you don't want the kids you are reaching to actually ever be able to experience a rainforest. Ok. that was dramatic. But you get my point.
Your stuff is very pretty, but I don't really need it. Sure I'll use my new event poster as an emergency blanket (that wasn't my idea actually.. it was a friend of mine at the convention making fun of how big it was) and perhaps I might be able to provide a small village somewhere with toilet paper for a day.
So, please, if you are planning on sending me stuff at this rate as the year draws on, don't. Hold the press. Save up the money you would spend on postage that you will be sending to my house and put it into an account called. "Riddle's Taco Run". And this time next year when you've got the $240 that you would have spent, buy someone an airline ticket for $230.00 to Tulsa, then come and buy me a tacos. They run about $8.50. Please leave the extra $1.50 as a tip.
Thanks for listening,
Mark Riddle

I can so identify with this !!
I receive a similar volume of stuff from other organisations on this side of the pond (and i've asked more than once to be removed from the mailing list - i guess they just REALLY like me (shucks!))
