This week’s Thursday 13: brought to you by the new U.S. Postal Service regulations. (Yes, I’m still angry – but at least now I have permission.)
Thirteen Proposed New Slogans for the United States Postal Service
1. Would you like extra postage with that?
2. Fighting envelope obesity since 2007.
3. Just like FedEx – without the flat rate pricing or guaranteed delivery!
4. See what Blue won’t do for you!
5. Where calipers are king.
6. We don’t like double-stuffed Oreos, either.
7. ‘Flat rate mailing’ is so 2006.
8. Where mailing marshmallows will cost you double.
9. Uniformity is job #1.
10. No, we’re still not open on Christmas.
11. Mailing is 1% preparation, and 99% pure frustration.
12. Where fat envelopes always cost more than skinny ones of the same dimensions.
13. We never promised it would get there for 42 cents.
[Note: I easily could have extended this to about 20, if the blog's style sheet had permitted some of the less socially-acceptable puns. Fortunately for all of us, it didn't.]

“13. Slavishly following a meme or preset pattern for a post.”
*LOL*
Oh. Well. It’s not as though I don’t make that same Blogging “Blunder” every Thursday… ;-)
But seriously,
folksyaks, is there any end to the snarky comments that one can make about snailmail?Comment by David — May 17, 2007 @ 11:58 am
Nope. Which is one of the things that makes blogging about it so much fun.
As far as slavisly following memes and preset patterns – that particular error describes my entire blog-to-date. But then, I make no pretense about the fact that I happen to enjoy beating dead horses for fun and … well, ok, maybe there’s no profit in it, so I’ll stick with “fun.”
