Hi! I see you are reading the fine print. I like to read fine print too.

Funny story about that: When I was a kid I was the one who collected the mail and got to look through the junk mail. One day something very interesting arrived, it looked important so I saved it to show my Dad. When he got home I excitedly showed the envelope to him. ‘Dad, look! We may have won $1,000,000!’.

My father glanced at the piece of junk mail I was holding, then he looked at me, smiled and said ‘Read the fine print’.

And so I did. I learned that we had not won a million dollars. I continued to read the fine print on every piece of junk mail that came in the house for years. So I say ‘Hello to you, fellow fine print reader!’.
