Or at least, I think it is.

Say you've got a letter (or a package... perhaps a videotape of a bootlegged comic book movie) that has to go to somewhere very far (from, say, Long Island to England), and you don't want to pay shipping costs. WELL, just put the address of the person you want to send it to in the return address spot, and your own address in the spot of the envelope where it's supposedly being sent to. If you're a cheap bastard like me and it has insufficient postage, they'll return it to "sender"... actually the place you meant for it to end up in all along! Is that genius, or just illegal?
