RX flavoring for diapers

Maybe I am totally missing the boat on this one, but what the heck is RX flavoring for diapers?!? Seems rather perverse and inappropriate to me.

Can I get a century warranty on this?

Today I got a call on my mobile phone from a phone number which I did not recognize. I answered and was greeted by a recorded voice saying:

“This is the second notice that the factory warranty on your vehicle may have expired.”

I hung up at that point. I don’t like recorded messages from someone calling me, but more importantly, I drive a 34 year old car … yeah, I am pretty sure the warranty expired a while ago, but thanks for the notice.

Should I be concerned that this was a wrong number, and some innocent citizen didn’t get the call about their car’s factory warranty?  I think not.

I received something in my mailbox last week that had a typed address label and no return address on the envelope.  It was postmarked in Provo, Utah – where I know no one.  I hesitantly opened the envelope and pulled out the following letter.

It’s basically a how-to guide/get-rich-quick scheme for making lots of money.  So it’s only too perfect that the letter arrived with postage due of 17 cents.

What are your favorite parts of the letter?
