Mail call
Posted on Tuesday, September 27th, 2005 at 10:45 pmThe dealership that I got my Prius continues to be sweet. The other day I got a nice card:
Happy anniversary! You and your Toyota Prius have been together for a year now and we want you to enjoy it for a long time to come!
Awww.
Of course, the same day, I got this letter:
Dear Barbara,
As I understand it, your birth date is 11/4/1978, which means that you have a birthday coming up pretty soon…Happy Birthday!
This might be a great time to buy a new life insurance policy.
I was cool with the first paragraph. I’ll accept birthday wishes from anyone, even over a month in advance. But…no. I already have life insurance, which I get billed for on my birthday every year (Happy birthday!). I actually have two policies. But, nice try. Nothing like sales pitches with heart.
