Journal of Universal Rejection

A colleague with a great sense of humor forwarded this description of the Journal of Universal Rejection.

The founding principle of the Journal of Universal Rejection (JofUR) is rejection. Universal rejection. That is to say, all submissions, regardless of quality, will be rejected. Despite that apparent drawback, here are a number of reasons you may choose to submit to the JofUR:

• You can send your manuscript here without suffering waves of anxiety regarding the eventual fate of your submission. You know with 100% certainty that it will not be accepted for publication.
  
• There are no page-fees.
  
• You may claim to have submitted to the most prestigious journal (judged by acceptance rate).
  
• The JofUR is one-of-a-kind. Merely submitting work to it may be considered a badge of honor.
  
• You retain complete rights to your work, and are free to resubmit to other journals even before our review process is complete.
  
• Decisions are often (though not always) rendered within hours of submission.

I don't think that the colleague was describing my editorial behavior at the Southern Economic Journal, even though my handling of manuscripts seems to be eerily similar to the JofUR.
