Junk Mail Mad-Lib
I get a lot of junk mail. Every day I open and then promptly throw out four to six envelopes worth of mail. Today I thought I would try to get something more out of this disposable communication than my regular complaining and paper cuts. And so I proudly present a Mad-Lib based on one of the offers for your hopeful entertainment.

great idea! i love this.
i did this mad-lib last night, even with real lame nouns & verbs (that someone else gave me) i thought it was really funny.
maybe we should post them on gutsy once we are done with them? an idea...
the cardinal rule of mad-libbing is to use the word 'butt' at least once. guaranteed to be funny.
please do post any completed versions of this letter as a comment. should make for some humorous reading.
