Immediate Action

Every day brings more junk mail—like this plea for me to buy life insurance.


The outside of the envelope sounds so urgent, doesn't it? They want me to take immediate action. So—I opened the envelope.


Another plea for"immediate action." But I don't worry about my "final expenses being a burden and getting life insurance coverage won't give me "peace of mind."

Look at all the stuff from inside the envelope.


Do you believe this crap?! "Easy pay option"—yeah, right.


I'll take action all right. I'll rip it to pieces. . .


. . . and then I'll file it in the appropriate place.


There! All ready for the dumpster!

If they really want me to have "peace of mind," they shouldn't snail-mail me this spam.

Next time you receive one of these, return the enclosed postage-paid envelope sealed and empty. That company will be charged the postage.
