Not Gifted


Scene at the post office today:

ME: Man! You guys are pretty busy for a Tuesday. Folks must be returning Christmas gifts, eh?
USPS CLERK (with seriousness befitting a funeral director): No, you cannot return gifts here. This is the post office.
ME: M'kay. Thanks.

HA, guess he told you a thing or two. Ahem.
Happy New Year! (is that allowed at the post office or would it be a distraction?)

Sometimes I think to myself... maybe I should let her know about printing postage off the internet? Then I think... but what would happen to her wonderfully hilarious post office blogs? I can't be hasty here.

You know, somebody probably tried to return a pair of boots at their counter earlier that day. Some of the postal customers amaze me, especially when they have no idea where they want to send something.
