Yeah, Yeah - I know he's famous and get's a lot more mail than in a day than I will
in a lifetime- But I still say there is something very odd about not opening your
mail. I literally can't imagine not being being at least interested enough to see
what someone had sent you - no matter how well known you get. 

By the way - if someone were to want to sell an address return reciepts from mail
would be a bad way to do it. It's printed on green cardboard and a lot of times get
stamped over. Not something that would frame well.

But I am keeping the envelope, I figure he may have touched it before he refused
it. Maybe I can charge people 2 dollars if I let them rub it.
