Fuck tha po...stal service

Got this e-mail from my uncle's partner out in San Diego today:

-------------------------------------------
From: Richard Aune
To: Matthew Anderson
Date: Wed, 10 Aug 2005 14:32:43 -0700 (PDT)
Subject: Announcement...

We just got your commencement announcement in the mail today. It's postmarked April 11th. I wonder where the hell it has been? Does the Pony Express still work in Nebraska?
-------------------------------------------

And there went what lingering respect I had left for the USPS. Crap, I'd better get working on Jonn's Xmas 2006 care package so he gets it on time.

I'll have you know my mother has been an employee of the USPS for 13 years now, so I find your comment both offensive and hurtful. Anyways, here is an interesting story involving mail. A friend of mine recieved an article of mail from New York, and it was all burned, pretty much unreadable. She then heard about a plane crash in New York. She put two and two together. !! Wait, maybe my story isn't so interesting...at any rate, good day to you Matt! Put some homemade cookies and a note in your mailbox if you have one. My mom always likes to get cookies when she is delivering mail. However, it is illegal to put anything in the mailbox that isn't mail, so if you don't have a good relationship with your mailman/women I would advise you not to do it.
