I recently got an interesting bit of junk mail. One of the local lending agencies sent me a letter saying I was pre-approved for a loan. It would be a secured loan with ah 22% interest rate.
I was a bit offended. Waht kind of an idiot do they think I am that I would jump at a chance to take out a loan on such gaia-awful terms? Did they think I was possessed by Eris? Come on!
So, I went to their office armed with a very different document.
A bill for proof-reading their offer.
I charged the $2000 proof-reading fee, and gave them a due date for payment of one month.
