Broom Hilda by Russell Myers for October 03, 2017

Go ahead Broomie, go postal on him.

Oye come on Broomie Luv,Give us a pile of smouldering flesh and clothing underneath that Post office hat.

Why does this postman (and his dialogue) have me thinking of the late Frank Nelson?

Not responsible for content, just delivery.

But the let-down is crushing and so could the reation.

But it came in the mail, so it MUST be real! A woman once brought a letter to the police department stating she had won the ‘Canadian Lottery!’ Of course she had to pay duty and taxes up front. I asked her “Have you ever BEEN to Canada?” “A few years ago.” “Did you play the lottery?” “So you don’t think it’s real?” Nope.

My mailman (=PC “postal carrier”), Tony, would never play such a stunt! Of course, I usually am not up yet when the mail comes, and so don’t see him in person. But if he wants that Little Something around the Christmas holidays, he’d better be nice!

Is Gildersleeve delivering mail now?

So does a thermonuclear device!

A Publisher’s Clearing House letter? No wonder the postman thought…

Better something than nothing

A friend of mine once worked at a bank and she told me she lost count of how many people would come up to her with what they thought was a check and she’d have to point out the fine print to them where it said that if they cashed the check the money was actually a guarenteed high interest loan.
