The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for August 01, 2012

Darn lines kill them every time.

And they were so close.

..and they certainly don’t ask for a return receipt.

ever Fly Fish mayfly hatch for brown or steel-head Trout? just one of those things you don’t forget

Well said! I hope the USPS is around for a long time.

I suppose fruit flies wouldn’t fair to well, either. But I certainly wouldn’t be wasting valuable time in lines if I only lived 3 days!

Heck, at our post office that could happen to a parrot or a tortoise.

Guy behind the counter looks pretty flighty to me.

Now they are May-not-flies.

OMG, that’s my post office here in my hood. Slow as anything.

Must have been 07/01/2012.

If this were a podcast it would just be a segue into a Stamps.com ad

Funny. Good timing too, I have a post office gag today as well.

Time flies like an arrowFruit flies like a banana

Lots of jokes like this in “Kevin & Kell.” For example: http://www.kevinandkell.com/2001/kk0814.html

No more than 2 days later? Get real. It takes a week to go across town!

I’ve seen Mayflies in June – How can this be?

Guessing they don’t have too many May-December romances either.

Hear, hear! 45 cents to take an item from a box on my front porch, schlep it across the country, and in two days’ time put it in a box in my parents’ front yard is an incredible bargain. And I’ve found that their rates for shipping easily trump the competition. Yeah, the lines at the post office are generally awful, but how often do you really need to actually go into the post office?

That Lady at the counter is Buggin’ him.

This happens at my pharmacy all of the time! We need an express line to our meds!!

Guess Mayflies would be better off using IM.

Why I avoid the post office.

I hate all the angst over saving the post office. Congress should let them raise rates to 75 cents, or go to 3 days a week delivery. Instead, we get two-penny increases and a crises every three years.
