Haha, this thread rocks. I got a letter from the IRS last year saying I forgot to fill out and mail a form back to them, so I fileld it out, and in the prepaid envelope I put 2 pennies in with the paper... 4-6 weeks later I get a reciept for $.02 deposited towards next years taxes lol. They had to take time out of their day to fill that **** out lol.
Another fun story.. A guy was getting loads of credit card offers, and other junk mail. so he started putting his junk mail from credit card company A in the return envelope for company B and vise versa.. They started writing him letters a few weeks later asking him to stop mailing them junk mail, lol. The irony.

There's an urban legend of a guy who got a picture of his license plate as he was running a tollbooth. He sent them a picture of his money totalling the amount of the fine. They sent him a picture of a warrant for his arrest.
Probably not true, but funny nonetheless.

That is what I had to write the check for.
Gov. always has to throw in that processing fee!

I used to use a "stealth plate". They don't sell them anymore. I wonder why......... And truthfully, that is the only reason I bought it was for the tollways. I miss those days on George Bush

You know they had a think on myth busters recently about this, said it was ineffective at stopping the cameras from IDing your plates.
