I Hate Chase

Every single day Chase sends me credit card applications. This has been going on for years. Today I got fed up and decided I'll stuff their pre-paid envelope with junk and send it back to them. That'll teach them to spam. I also went to the website to contact them about how annoying they are:

I'd appreciate it if you removed me from your mailing list. I literally get a Chase credit card application every day of the week and my patience is growing thin.

In the days of yesteryear I might have wanted a Chase credit card. But now, seeing how much of a pain in the ass your company is, I don't think I could bring myself to apply for one. Carrying a Chase credit card in my wallet would be the equivalent of funding terrorism. The kind of domestic terrorism that kills trees, burdens mailmen, and gives me papercuts as I angrily tear the envelope to pieces with my savage hands.

I would appreciate it if you removed my name and address from any and all Chase correspondence lists. If Chase is responsible for notifying me about being a benefactor of a dead rich uncle or that I won the lottery, please feel free to email or call me. Otherwise, please try your best and rid my name from your company. (Psst, you can ask Enron and Arthur Andersen for help in the document disposal department).

If you have any questions or comments, feel free to email me, BUT PLEASE, I implore you, do not send me any mail!

Funny Math Joke

A constant function and e^x are walking on Broadway. Then suddenly the constant function sees a differential operator approaching and runs away. So e^x follows him and asks why the hurry. "Well, you see, there's this differential operator coming this way, and when we meet, he'll differentiate me and nothing will be left of me...!" "Ah," says e^x, "he won't bother ME, I'm e to the x!" and he walks on. Of course he meets the differential operator after a short distance.

e^x: "Hi, I'm e^x"

diff.op.: "Hi, I'm d/dy"

Does anyone get it?

A Relaxing Sunday Drive

It was a perfect, bright, and clear day today. So what did I decide to do? I decided it would be a perfect day to go cruising around. So I call up my buddy David and I ask him if he'd like to accompany me as I cruised around in the family's newly acquired Lexus SC 430 convertible. Reluctantly, he agreed =). After a little messing around with the stereo and putting the hardtop down, we were off to Soda Jerks. Once there, we hung out and watched the end of the Lakers game. After a thrilling Laker victory, we headed back. Midway home, I decided that we needed to go on the freeway so I could give the engine a good test. David agreed. All in all, it was a great day of driving. I think I need to do it more often, it's actually very relaxing.
