When I was a kid probably around 13 years old I kept getting junk mail from a company I once bought something from. Each unwanted mailer had a "Business Reply" return card. One day I securely taped one of the Business Reply cards to a 7 pound red brick and posted it. I never received another junk mailer from them again. I've never told this story to anyone.
