What’s the deal with both my ma bell bills and my cell provider bills printed upside down and stuffed into the envelope from the bottom? I find it totally arsenine and annoying. Could someone please enlighten me so if there’s a benefit I can enjoy it? I also wanna tell my dad 'cause he doesn’t know either.

I’d ask Ken Jennings but don’t have his email addy.

Thanks guys!
