Pathmark really should sort their mailings by gender and age. First, let me say that I have been known to whine and moan and groan at times. But, I really don't think I got to the point that I had to receive a coupon for a free box of "Always".
They sent me this coupon with my name on the front label so they obviously know I am a man, so why would they send me this coupon? Did someone from MOL tell them about my re-val postings?
Seriously, they didn't need to send me one and they sure didn't need to give me the very detailed desription of what this product would do for me. |

EB, maybe someone did leak your name out, but they knew that this product is perfect for you. You can use it as a sweat band on your head when you are playing basketball. |

Is that what they meant by "pull fluid away from your skin to help provide clean, dry protection"? |

It would most likely cost too much to send the coupon only to the suitable target population.
The mailing probably went to all of the "households" on their mailing list in the hope that "male" addressees would pass the coupon on to a "female" of suitable age to use the product. |

I particularly love telemarketers that call and ask for Mrs. Surdam. I always say "speaking". They have no idea what to say next.

I love the telemarketers that assume because of my last name that I speak Chinese. They do their spiel in Chinese, When I don't answer, or say excuse me?, they often try in another language (Vietnamese, Thai or Korean, according to my husband, who DOES speak Chinese, but won't let the telemarketers know that!)
Also, I get a kick out of the telemarketers who ask for Mr or Mrs En-Gee (they pronounce each letter of our surname - which is really pronounced Ung, but spelled without the "U").

Sorry - Dave, can you translate that for me? My Chinese consists of: various holiday greetings (but I get Happy Birthday and Merry Christmas mixed up), and an odd phrase or two from an adult school Chinese course I took several years ago - one being " Where is the cat?".
PS. (on another note, How can I change my screen name - the one that appears in reddish brown, to be two separate words., i.e. Suzanne Ng?) - Pls private line me . Thanks! |
