I have business/social calling cards!

Courtesy of Moo.com and About.Me, I was given 50 free business cards built off of the information on my About.Me page. All I was meant to pay for was shipping, but with some googling I managed to eliminate that too, rewarding myself with the product completely free.
Of course, I don’t really have a use for them as yet. All I do at the moment to a professional standard is riffle cards and flick balls1, and that hardly calls for an exchange of details.
Maybe one day my writing will be of such a standard that publications will pay me amazing amounts of money for my opinions on something. Fat chance, but it could happen2.
Or I could become an astronaut and go into the farthest reaches of space. I could meet an alien and with these cards it would be a snap to exchange contact information. “Do you have a pen so I can write down your email address?” He’d say, to which I would respond,
“No need! Here, let me toss you my card. It has all my details on it.”
I’ll smile, and the alien would look perplexed before pointing out the obvious, “You can’t just throw it, there’s no gravity so it’ll just float there.”
My smile drops, as I ponder the fact that this yellow3 creature, who astonishingly can speak fluent English, actually has a point. After a few moments, I finally speak. “You have a point. Here, I’ll just hand it to you.”
The exchange done, we can finally get back to the matter at hand; I have calling cards and I don’t really need them at this point in time. Still, it’s cool to have some.
