Hints - how not to take them
The Republican Party has yet again sent me a survey, which they insist REQUIRES my immedate attention.
So instead of doing what I normally do with documents marked “DO NOT DESTROY” (which is to immediately feed them to my shredder), I read the thing. And, as always, there are the pages of silly questions where the answers OUGHT to be obvious to a small-government conservative. And the “Support Reply Form” - which has options for “YES! I’ll take part in your stupid survey, and here, have some cash too”, “No, I’m not taking part in your survey, but here’s a gob of loot anyhow”, and “I’m not taking part in the survey, and I don’t want to donate, but here’s 11 bucks anyhow to process the survey”
I went with “other” - which is to leave the whole thing blank save for the “additional comments” section which now reads:
Until the Republican Party decides to embrace the principle of smaller government, please refrain from sending me further surveys or requests for donations. None shall be forthcoming.
Let’s see if they do. I sincerely doubt it. Dense as neutronium.
