I think we're being too harsh on this poor woman. She's obviously come up in a tough town and had little or no occasion to travel outside her comfort zone. As another poster noted, “it only happens in the South.” Well now, that's as may be true, but there are some differences. In the South, that postman could well be your fifth cousin once removed. ;-)
The poor woman’s been out of work since the Combat Zone closed down. I saw things there I still cannot comprehend. That was 20 years ago.
But dam'if he didn't come back!
