The Mailman Turns 50 Today

[Joemailman]

Had a nice party with family on Sunday. Received a beautiful framed photo of the crowd at Lambeau Field at the San Diego game last year which we attended. Funny thing is, we are prominently featured n the foreground of the photo. The guy who took the picture must have taken the photo from right behind us. When my brother ordered the picture, he wasn't even aware that we were in it.

On the drive home Monday, I stopped at Culver's in DeForest for lunch and they gave me the senior discount. Is that good or bad? I've received my invitation to join AARP. Haven't responded yet....

Time to start shopping burial plots.

Ok, I was just kidding. I'm not that far behind you. Happy birthday you old goat.

when you look down, can you still see your toes? As long as you have your health, 50 ain't bad. 50 is the new 49.

One year closer to retirement my friend.

Happy B-day.

Mine is tomorrow......just a couple years younger than you.

Yeah but will he get all his mail delivered before then?

I can see 'em. Can't reach 'em without bending my knees though. Darn hamstrings.

Thanks to all for the kind words (even Mad). By the way, I never throw anyone's mail away without reading it first.

Happy Birthday, Joe. Does the Postal Service allow you to use your motorized wheelchair on your mail route? :)

What was a mailman's salary in 1958?

[packinpatland]

'Roundtrip airfare London to New York: $453'


I just booked airfare from JFK to Heathrow...............$549!
Wish everything had the same rate of inflation!
