I do not own a television.
I cetainly hope this item goes nowhere near an alligator, or swamp men.
People actually watch others catch alligators? Seems boring.

It is appalling. It seems any person, place, thing, animal, etc. is considered "fair game" in the name of "entertainment".

Don't fret yet, Michael; in March I had a Registered parcel take 42 days to reach Washington state. Pretty sure that the Post Office has replaced the ponies with squirrels.

Well, of course, it was delivered today, and it appears as if a band of demons had their way with a mack truck. Thankfully, the seller used plenty of newspaper witihin a sturdy used Johnsonville sausage box to protect the book...............

Not to worry. It's a minor clerical redundancy in the new USPS QUITS (Quantum Unit Inertia Tracking System). The package neither left, nor arrived, and still managed to succeed in doing both simultaniously. Also, sausage boxes have long been known to act peculiar in phase space without containing actual sausages.

Don’t forget the USPS is losing its govmint clientele as everyone is forced into direct deposit soon. They must figure out how to spend more in order to provide less.
I’m betting the banks are happy campers.
It is a shame, though, that all the folks without the interwebz will rapture. Is that cloud tech?

facile?? They sorta need better.
Decades ago I went to a Florida dive famous for their seafood (sitting outside on the Gulf sands). Turns out their boiled shrimp was frozen and shipped from two states away.
Washington State doesn’t really exist. It’s a quantum state of mind.

'Why’d it haffta be a cat?'
Because most other creatures would attempt to escape, a cat would curl up and wait for one of its minions to release it.

Schrödinger cats, though clearly restricted, have not been logistically regulated through media mail, as the inspection results are always the same.
USPS QUITS has no working model for radioactive dead kitties.

Do not knock the U.S. Post Office. They do a great job for a low sum. Best postal service in the world, I believe. And better customer service at the low end than UPS or Fedex. By far.
Fight those rat busterds in the Congress who want to get rid of it. Y'all have no idea how good you've got it.

I love the USPS. I love my wife too. Both can handle a bit of ribbing from time to time. Lyceumdreams's plight was funny and he knows it, and I'm sure the mailman would think it's funny as well.

Quite right! I did think it was a bit comical. My "I so agree" comment was intended more as a general comment about USPS.
I recently had a package go from Texas to Nebraska by way of New Jersey. The funniest thing was that it took 3 days from TX to NJ, but only 1 day from New Jersey to Nebraska.
My conclusion: "You can't get there from here!"
