In some fairness to the postal service (which is often slow – my 2-day air parcel Calgary to LA took 10 days to arrive), couriers usually do no better, and cost a lot more, so I stick with the post office.The real reason, I suspect, that my US-Canada parcels take so long to arrive at their destinations – Homeland Security.
Yes, I think the postal service does an excellent job considering that they are weighed down, literally, with all the junk mail, advertising stuff, etc. Corporations making a killing again. No one ever talks about the really obscene deal corporations get on junk mail.

Low blow, Herb. We might ask why isn’t service in your restaurant faster? Respect the postman.

This strip is about to become a non-stop on my way from Heathcliff to Herman – humor has to be more than just stereotypes, low blows and cheapshots.

Stop to smell the roses and the supervisor stealthing along behind you will write you up.
