For Two Cents I'D. . .

I pay almost all of my bills through the bank…..Therefore when I receive a notice of an account that is due, and in the notice is a return envelope for payment, although plainly printed on the statement are the words “Do not pay, automatic withdrawal from your bank account” I think, why!  Why do they always include a return envelope?
 
Yesterday I received a check from Medicare. Seems they owed me 1 cent…..  So, get this, the check for 1 cent arrived by mail with a first class potage, presort rate, of .35 cents. So it cost Medicare .35 cents to send me that check.
 
And I’m thinking, is anyone out there THINKING?
 
I am trying to decide whether to cash the check or frame it.  NO, neither one.  I am posting it on my refrigerator to show people as a conversation piece!
