The Intuitive Reasonings of Jessica

isn't one of my hobbies. In fact, I've never even tried it. Therefore, it came as quite a surprise yesterday when I received a membership kit in the mail from the BASS Club, a club devoted to bass fishing. Upon opening the large envelope, I found several decals and stickers with the BASS logo, my membership card, and a couple of other things. As I began reading the enclosed letter, I quickly decided that it was scam. The letter began by thanking me for my payment (I had certainly not sent them any money!) and suggested that I extend my membership by another year for only $12. However, as I continued reading, BASS assured me that even if I didn't extend my membership now, I would receive full membership benefits for the upcoming year, including a subscription to their monthly magazine, Bassmaster. Suddenly I remembered that Bassmaster was one of the magazines that I had purchased with my frequent flier miles (as explained in a previous post). However, I had been expecting it to be about playing bass guitar. Of course the idea that the magazine was about fish had briefly occupied my mind, but I honestly didn't expect anyone to publish a whole magazine about bass fishing. Guess I was wrong. :-S
