That was good for a chuckle! And I think that it's great that he sold all of the freebies and gave the money to a charity.

					I was sitting around one day, skimming through a pile of bills that I needed to pay.
					I looked over at a new, unopened roll of stamps that I had sitting in front of me, and I
					thought to myself, "$39... for a roll of stamps?  Geez...
					You can't get much for $39 nowadays.  Or can you...?"
<H1>The Idea</H1>
					The way I looked at it, if I took $39 and went to buy groceries, I wouldn't be able to
					get all that much.  On the flipside, if I took $39 to a casino and lost it all, I wouldn't be
					all that upset.  With that said, I decided I was going to try something —
					I was going to take my roll of stamps and send 100 letters to 100 different companies, asking
					for free stuff.  I figured that I couldn't do any worse than blowing the $39 at a casino, and
					who knows...  maybe a few of these places would actually send me something good.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/73846402-031B-41E7-886A-F740C09366C9/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
