If you want to throw the post office workers for a loop, ask them to help you mail a letter to the Tower of London. =)
Gets them everytime! lol!
*****
Worker: "THE Tower of London?"
Me: "yes."
Worker: "Why do you want to send a letter to the Tower of London?"
Me: "I have a relative in prison there about to be beheaded."
Worker: "Huh?"
Me: "Just kidding, I'm sending a request tickets to a private Ceremony there. I need your help in airmailing this letter. I need it to arrive in London in about two days."
Worker: "You can't get anything to London in two days."
Me: "Really? All mail going across the pond is still put on a boat? Last time I checked, airplanes can carry mail too."
Worker (smiling): "Haha!! You are right! I'm just kidding. We can get it there in two days, no problem."

FIFTEEN minutes later he figured it out.
This does not count the several DAYS it took for the POSTMASTER to get me some international reply coupons.
I like to keep the guys here on their toes.
Gotta keep up on the Global Express mailing information.
*wink wink*
Hey, it's good enough for government work.....=)

Your Corsicana stories are hilarious. (That's not to say that the ones in Plano would know how to mail an international letter either necessarily.) I especially liked the HEB story a few days ago.
As an aside, I remember the post office used to creep me out. It was so quiet and old smelling. Every time I had to wait in line there I was always checking the door. I just knew someone was going to come in and shoot everybody. :) (Probably more of MY issue than the post office's issue.)
Just goes to show that you are still living in Cors- HICK - cana!! It's amazing how backwards some of the people are there!
