Smithsonian or Simpsonian?
My roommate and I have once sent a bunch of punched cards as greeting cards for the New Year (Christmases were not in play back then, I think 1977) - just used thick marker for the address on the printed side, and a few kind words on the blank side, and applied proper postage. Several of our friends' parents thought it was a new electricity bill or something of the kind, and cursed like hell.
