Death of a Postman

Death of a Postman

As a qualifier, I have nothing against the US Post Office.  In fact, for years I have said that they need to charge more for their service.  You want me to come to your house, pick up a letter and deliver it across the country for $0.49?  FTN!  Anyway, much like Block Buster and the Yellow Pages, the USPO is pretty deep into the back nine.  Yesterday my mailman knocked on my door (someone stole my mailbox…4 months ago…ha!).  I put my call on hold, got up and answered, only to get two pieces of junk mail that I immediately threw away.  When I answered the door I looked at my mailman and I could see almost an apologetic look in his eyes.  It was the same look I had on my face when I lost my virginity…sorry…I’ll do better next time.  Anyway, I kind of feel sorry for my mailman.  I think he knows that I know that he’s really not bringing much to the table anymore. Direct deposits, direct withdraws, direct billing, on-line shopping, he knows he’s dead weight.  At this point he’s pretty much just in it for the exercise.  He’s like Shaun T with a uniform.  And even the uniforms have gotten a lax.  My guy is kind of grungy but with the explorer hat.  Kind of a Kurt Cobain meets Dora.  Anyway, hang in there mister mailman.  Keep your chin up and update that resume…oh and when you send them out…use your dial up AOL email account don't mail them...nobody mails anything anymore.
