Credit Card Application

“Yesterday I got a credit card application from a major bank with a variable rate of 12.99% to 20.99%. Such a deal, no it’s actually an annoying insult. So, I wrote them a return letter:

Dear major bank,
      Thank you for the opportunity to express how I really feel about your corporation. What I do appreciate, is that there is no stamp required for your return envelope. After tearing off all my personal information, so some dumpster diver doesn’t fill out your application for me, and find out he picked the wrong target; I just wanted to make one comment:
      Your practice of usury and fractional reserve banking is despicable along with crashing the global economy.

Danny: I think I have my grandmother’s charm and wit. Too bad she’s not here to share it with. Maybe if every disgruntled person would use that free envelope and apply their creative talent, they might get the picture that we’re tired of this bullshit.
      Marcie, there are so many people you could visit and test your information extraction program on, so what are you people doing here? Is this just a practice run? Well, you wanted to know what I was thinking. And you wonder why I look to God for solutions. Wake me up when it’s over.
Marcie: You are a crazy SOB. You want me to use my system to play Robin Hood.
Danny: You’d make an excellent Robin Hood, make sure you get your merry band to sign on. Maybe that’s the reason we were connected.
      How much materialism do you really need? Some people take what they need from the orchard and other people pick the orchard clean.
Marcie: You’re wondering what I’m thinking. I don’t want to mess your mind up with what I’m thinking, so let me simply say, I don’t approve of what some of these people have been doing for decades.
      Who do you think I am?
Danny: Someone who frustrates me, don’t we have enough guessing games in life?
Marcie: Marcie is a miracle worker, so what does that tell you? You do not even know what to make of me, someone who keeps coming back for you, someone who won’t let go of you.
Danny: Why is it that there’s only a handful of words for truth and over 100 synonyms and derivatives for deception?
Marcie: Are you surprised?
Danny: It puts it in a different light when you start reading through the list. You may as well add amygdala hijacking.
Marcie: Has Danny been bamboozled?
Danny: You picked one with an unknown origin.
Marcie: That is the best way to start a mind game.
Danny: Okay, just for kicks, try saying synonym - cinnamon 10 times as fast as you can.

Riley Amos Westbrook Next time, write in your own terms and conditions, then send it in after you make copies. If they accept your terms, you've got yourself a hell of a deal!

Paper games, not bad advice. I had to keep it tame or kill the novel. Pardon the lag, I missed it.

You don't have to tell me man, I try to get around to everywhere, since I have a lot of free time. But you can't catch it all!

Knowledge beats guess work every time, although I take it piece meal, too much can spoil your appetite for what is good in life.

I mentioned to a friend, if you want to inform people, you need to mix it up, add a little humor. People are already feeling overwhelmed.
