The mail just keeps coming...and coming....and coming!

Wonder if he went through any of it looking for cash?

Guarantee most of it is junk mail, many would applaud that. ;-)

Well, he will be found to have a sexual fetish with mail and be lauded by gay groups as a role model.

Gee! I told them it was in the mail.

Thinking it’s time to get rid of the “Post Office”.

I’ve been waiting patiently for my million dollar check from Publishers Clearing house....Mr Goodman promised it as soon as I bought and gave him the numbers from an orange dot prepaid debit card....probably lost in the mail.....

And for most legal purposes, mail sent is considered mail delivered...
