Default funny junk mail... "you've been selected..."

Earlier this afternoon my mom came home from shopping and brought in the mail. Standing in the kitchen, she's going through it, my father's reading the paper, and I'm putting stuff away. She says, "Uh oh... Michael, 'you've been selected'..." and tosses the letter to my father.

I go, "for jury duty, again?!"

Dad goes, "No, you're getting a special rate on Playboy magazine"

It was funny enough because I'm such a straight-lace person, but I just about fell over laughing thinking "if only you knew" Wow... I may have to come out to them soon, just so they can see how funny that really was

And, I have to wonder how that magazine could get their potential clients any more wrong! I don't know how I ever ended up on their mailing list

My ex-boyfriend got junk mail from Playboy. On the front, in big telletrs, it said:

WE KNOW WHAT MEN WANT!

Apparently not.

Lollerskates, I wished they'd send me special rates on Playboy.

For the articles of course.

I keep thinking of The Birdcage, where they're re-doing the apartment and put Playboy in the bathroom, one of the drag queens goes "it's what they read!"

Oddly, for many years, Playboy WAS a rather high-class magazine. They began publishing lengthy and quite well-done interviews with various high-profile celebrities - to the point where "The Playboy Interview" actually meant it was in-depth and well-done. Then-presidential nominee Jimmy Carter did an interview with Playboy just before the 1976 presidential election - can you picture McCain or Obama doing that now?

>>>Lollerskates, I wished they'd send me special rates on Playboy.

At one point, the clergy actually got a discount on Playboy. I don't know if they still do.

Silly old playboy magazine. A Victorias secret catalogue is more revealing.
I would be much happier with one from A&F.
