Time
Over the years I have had nothing but a lip-curling contempt for Time magazine ever since I read two articles by Margaret Carlson, one of the most offensive of the sneerocracy. Today I got in the mail a letter from Time asking me to subscribe. The value of their 56 issues was, in their lofty estimation, $232, but they'd let me have it for $20.00. If I paid right then I'd get it for $15.00.
Can't give it away. Sweet Schadenfreude.

Oh yes, and there's more fun. If there's a post-paid reply envelope, put in it the bits of paper which do not have your name on them. Then they don't know who is costing them the price of the postage plus 5ยข (or more now possibly). But you can cost them money every single time.
It still doesn't make up for Margaret Carlson, who is so full of herself that with every bite she should burst, but it is a start.
My dear Theo,
Now I can add to my regrets the fact that I simply trash those offers without opening. I had no idea the sweet thoughts of revenge I was missing.
