The $39 Experiment
This guy decided to use a roll of stamps (back when they were .39) and send out 100 letters to different companies asking for free stuff. His amusing letters and the chart of his successes is interesting to look at. I think he ended up with over $200 worth of free stuff for his $39 investment. Worth a look.

I'm not just a bastard, but a cheap bastard, so I found this fascinating. Thanks!
I particularly liked his letter to McDonalds.
Dear Sir or Madam:
You may love to see me smile, but I, however, love to see me eat. Please send me coupons for free McDonald's product, so that I may continue to eat (and smile). Thank you well in advance,
Tom Locke, eating enthusiast
I'm going to start introducing myself as Joe Rowland, canned air enthusiast.
Hopefully very soon, it'll be Dr. Joe Rowland, canned air enthusiast.
Quack.
A quack and a hack!
