In a previous life I was a letter carrier, during the last year of the Post Office Department (wore the pony), and then the first couple of years of the USPS (wore the stupid-looking eagle).

There’s a lot to joke about. But not the postal inspectors.

They protect First Class mail. The USPS handles tons of junk, and packages (not well). But First Class/certified/registered/insured mail?

FAFO. The postal inspectors will find you, and they will get you.

A man wrote to the U.S. Post Master General and asked why was it that in the days of the Pony Express a letter could go from Sacramento to Carson City overnight, but now it takes 3 days. The Post Master General wrote back and explained, "Well, you have to understand the ponies are much older now."
