Now we all know that getting junk mail ranks up there as an inevitability in life, much like taxes and dying. It always baffles me that I get credit card information sent to me for the Long Island Ducks (haven’t worked there in years and is a few states away) or random things to go back to community colleges in Pennsylvania (never lived there) but that can probably get chalked up to a bad purchase from the advertiser. So in a way I feel bad for them because no matter how much money they dump into ads, I am not buying.

Now I am in the age range to be falling into some of these demographics, and get the honest mistakes, but over the weekend, I picked up a piece of mail for my wife that truly baffled me on a number of levels. While the lovely Mrs. Espo will be having a birthday at the end of the month, she is far from old. However, AARP made it a point to send her an enrollment package. While it had a few chuckles between us, it is mind boggling because she’ll be 30, not 50+ as noted in their membership details. She still has a good 20 years before sniffing the ranks of the organization and I’m not really sure if getting in touch with the younger generation is really their thing.

So my real question is how did this packet get sent to my wife? Did they just buy a bad list, or are the folks working there just slipping?
