I got a letter yesterday. Not a Christmas card or a coupon to my favorite retail store, but a big, fat envelope from my alma mater.
strike one: they were asking for donations
strike two: they included a brochure listing names of everyone ELSE who had made a donation
strike three: I ended up getting a paper cut trying to open up the massive envelope which proves that they not only want my money, but that they are out for blood
Now every time I make the mistake of extending my pinkie finger for any reason whatsoever and the paper cut reopens itself I am reminded of the fact that while my school thought they could prey upon my charitable side during this holiday season, they failed to take into account that I am actually more bitter at this time of year. If I can pass up bell ringers without showing remorse then I can certainly ignore the pleas of an overpriced private liberal arts college (no matter what kind of physical pain they might inflict).
Stupid paper cut.
