> Do you have to watch out for registered post offenders?

I know a guy who’s been a registered post offender since age 11. Apparently he stuck a postdated package in a brand-new mailbox that wasn’t approved by the Postmaster General. Now he has to go to twice-monthly therapy classes where he gets stamped on by mean-looking probation officers at an office behind the sorting center (they call it the PO Box). I would post a link to his profile, but it’s postage due.

Our forever stamps had a picture of a locket on the front and a blurb about how the post office doesn’t believe in censorship anymore.

I used to be good for the occasional 3 day delivery, but now can barely manage overnight.

Remember kids, if you’re going to send a letter make sure you use a safety envelope and don’t lick it too much.

Is it true that a mailbox should seek medical attention if its flag is up for more than four hours?

Agreed. At least the “I sexually identify as an attack helicopter” meme includes jokes about delivering hot sticky loads. This makes no sense.
