The Postal Service

Say y'all heard of this thing called the United States Postal Service? Word on the street is that they're going to close down up to 2,000 post offices starting in March. I say it's about time. Who even gets the mail anymore, what with the Internets and all? I'm sick of paying 40 something cents just to send some piece of paper hundreds of miles across the country. Gubmint should keep its hand off my mail. It was bad enough when they tried to take over the army, now they're trying to take over the post office? Sheeit.

In the midst of this recession, who can even afford the luxury of having a mailbox? Even I've had to cut back on some expenses at Le Chateau de Shaq (that's French for "Shaquille's cat water"). I had to have my mailbox converted into a garage and my birdhouse converted into a replacement mailbox (which is confusing to birds and mailmen alike), but then my mother-in-law moved in with us so I had to have the birdhouse/replacement mailbox converted into a guest house. Times are tough all over.
