And if it comes with free comics,
tape the comic to teh inside of an envelope,
enclose a hefty cash donation for this sage advice,
and send it to me. Include a SASE and I'll return
the comic after I'm done reading it.
Another free service I offer:
I accept full, unused jugs of R-12.
I collect them, absolutely free of charge!
I'll even return the empty jugs if you include
extra postage and handling with your Bazooka Joe
comic strip.
