Unabashedly off-topic (sorry, Pooh!) and apropos of nothing...
I once ordered two ceramic coffee mugs from the Alison Krauss Fan Club. Whoever
shipped 'em to me just put each mug in a paper envelope, stapled it shut,
affixed some stamps and dropped 'em in the mailbox.
By the time they got to me, they were, of course, nothing but white powder.
Fortunately, this was before the post office got sensitive about white powder.
But that time, I was the one who went postal. Not at the postal service, but the
dummy who mailed 'em that way.
Another time, I ordered a new dobro cone from a supplier who shall remain
nameless (nobody active today, I might add). This person got a big cereal
carton at their local grocery store, tossed in a handful of styrofoam peanuts,
and mailed it to me. The cone looked like it had been run over in the street by
the time it got to me. Come to think of it, I went postal that time, too. Not at
the post office, but at the dummy who mailed it.
What were they thinking?
