Pretty cool!

"We saw an old flattened basketball and a bunch of bottles. Mostly they were whiskey bottles, Mad Dog 20-20 bottles, things like that. But this one stood out."

LOL

99,999,999 left to go.

I lol'd at the headline. Not sure why. Must be the meds.

And now I can't get that crappy Sting song outta my head.

Making fun of the post office? Didn't that go out of style in the 1950s?

It was either that or a lame reference to The Police song.

I dunno. Bottle was thrown in a creek and ended up not very far away in a river. Meh.

Was he sending out an SOS?

Grrr. The USPS. Grrr.

I have been expecting a letter for a week. It should be here. Days ago it should have been here. It's not here. Three things could've happened.

1) one of the various postal delivery persons ( they change almost daily ) probably put the letter in the middle of a giant wad of junk mail and I never saw it. See, the mailboxes at this complex are the ancient, upright little metal lid boxes about 1.5 feet high and maybe 4 inches wide. There is no room to put the gigantic log of advertising inserts anywhere, so the delivery folks crunch it into a wad -- after putting important letters in the middle of said wad. Seen this many times.

2) Letter got delivered to wrong apartment, again. For some reason some of the delivery personel can't differentiate between, say, the letters J and R. It's like they can't read or speak English. Oh, wait ... nevermind, most are Latino or Asian, they probably can't. If delivered to some of my neighbors by mistake, as has also happened before like the previous example, letters gone, it had money in it, and these low-lifes around here open other peoples' misdelivered mail.

3) Lost by the postal service. Every year one or two letters sent to me vanish. Simply vanish. Usually it's cards with a little cash in them. Funny how that works, isn't it? So if you Farkers want to send someone a birthday or christmas card with some dough in it, forget it. Postal employees look for those and some have been known to make a quick buck. Or the letter fell out of a basket or box or cart. Once I was waiting on a letter for two weeks. It finally came, but had been ripped and had tire marks and dirt all over the envelope. I wondered if they had taken the mail to an offroad 4-wheelin' event.

No more of this crap. I am using online services from now on. You can't trust the USPS, as too many hands are involved with one delivery, and some of those hands may be operated by a corrupt criminal, illiterate immigrant or plain clumbsy dunderhead.

/ and there is word they are merging with FedEx. Holy crap that is really bad news.

No...but they probably did.

It was supposed to, but a lot of people never got the memo.

Guess he's not alone at being alone.

Suck it, libs.

I tossed a bottle with a note in it, from a ship going to France. I got a response a few months later from England. We still write, using regular letters.

Mythy
Pretty cool

I thought so too....but the tag says spiffy.
I always wanted to know what the difference was between spiffy and cool?

Moist Von Lipwig wanted for questioning..

/obscure?

hey now, subby, they might fark up a little, but I can't rag on a service that allows me to send an envelope across the freaking world for $0.93.

/god i hate long-distance relationships.
//wait, this is fark! i can't possibly successfully interact with the opposite sex!

crazy curt

aren't you the guy who claims you're "homeless" while posting on fark? get a jerb.

your complaints are pretty silly. it's clear you're paranoid. protip: the post office is NOT conspiring against you. if you absolutely NEED the same person to deliver the mail, you can hire a private service.

the USPS is the best in the world. anyone who's been abroad knows this.

Possibly the best joke of this thread.

He woke up this morning and can't believe what he saw...

So you are biatching about not receiving a letter that you didn't even bother to look for?

I have known some crazy people in my life. Some of them have been pretty cool or at least entertaining. You are not crazy; you are just a moron.

And you have moron friends who send cash in the mail, even though USPS has advised against this since probably the beginning of the USPS. If I was your relative I would just tell you I sent money and not really send it, since you apparently are moron enough to (a) believe that and (b) think people should send you money instead of you having to work for it.

Like the man said:

proteus_b: get a jerb.

I think that story is cool...

My computer security wouldn't let me access the site. Said it's an attack site.

I'm sorry, is being the nations ONLY self funding federal agency not good enough for you?

Dumbshiat, you try maintaining the logistics and smooth operation of the United States postal system at no cost to the taxpayer. Also maintaining the records (addresses) that effectively allow their for profit competitors (not to mention mapquest) to exist?

Postal workers put your motherfarking mail in your mutherfarking mailbox day in and day out and they don't need your bullshiat insults because mommy's cookies arrived crumbly. Your mom probably doesnt use enough butter anyways, thats why her nasty ass cookies be crumbly.

Im sorry...what was the article about?

On the contrary, I'll bet they would be if they heard about it.

so much has changed since 1913

The note was actually from a Namibian Oil Princess whose father was assassinated and wants to deposit $4.5mil dollars in your account.
