Our campus mail service recently announced, with no trace of irony, that any outgoing mail with an inadequate return address would be returned to the sender.
Oh well, I’ve seen worse. In my North Carolina days I lived in an apartment complex whose management used to issue notices like “February 12th is cancelled until further notice” (meaning that a meeting scheduled for that day had been cancelled) and “One-fourth of the residents will be exterminated each month” (meaning – one hopes! – that insect exterminators would visit one-fourth of the apartments each month).

Makes perfect sense – what better way to test if a return address is adequate or not?
