Kudos to the US Postal Service!

I still check the Post Office Drop Box to make sure the letters I just dropped in and am trying to mail didn’t get stuck in the chute.

And counting the letter I just mailed tonight—for 51 consecutive years— not a single letter has ever gotten stuck!

“Hey body,” you will say to yourself one day at around age 50, “I’m really sorry I did that to you.”

And after a long pause you will hear your body say back, in almost inaudible tones, something you can’t post on Facebook.
