The Mailman Turns 50 Today

[Joemailman]

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.

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.

Am I the only one that thought this thread was going to be about Karl Malone?

You're not actually.

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

old folks don't use wheelchairs, they drive rascals

What was a mailman's salary in 1958?

'Roundtrip airfare London to New York: $453'


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