Recently I changed my e-mail address, making my business cards useless. Of course, I could build a tower of business cards or write math facts on the back for a youngster learning multiplication tables or store them somewhere. What do you do with useless business cards?

Well, if that’s what I am, please excuse me. I better get down to business.

What would you write on a new business card? What is your most useful business?
