Actually, I thought I'd maybe just leave him a note instead, Whacky.

Well, Sunny, in a couple more weeks, he'll be solely my aunt's problem (when I return to Philly permanently).

I'm not too concerned, Saul ...
I doubt he'd even be able to aim properly in his condition.

Go get 'em, Mademoiselle. Be careful. I hear postmen can be, well,
postal. Wear a kevlar vest or something...

Well, technically speaking, Bandana, he's more my aunt's mailman than mine.
He's only really my mailman for a couple more weeks. (One of the reasons I'm not concerned about confronting him.)
And as far as why I speak to the mailman ... I'm just sweet like that.

Um, why would you speak to your mailman?
Were you drunk (and were actually smelling your own aroma)?
(important stuff!)

That's cool, Nickie ...
So I guess I really should try to get this guy fired.
Although we had a mailman a while back who was even worse, actually. He was some sort of a dwarf (seriously) and couldn't reach our box without using a foot stool.
So sometimes he'd just leave our mail laying on the ground.

Mademoiselle,
we had a postman just like the one you describe! He got fired in the end, and now we have a nice, young fellow who does the job very well.

Funny you say that, Talion, because my older brother actually has been deemed a danger to himself and others ...
(and confined to a mental institution).

Though I wonder why so many mailmen go insane, Talion?
I guess maybe due to all the junkmail they are forced to handle.

One time, I thought I actually had seen the kid on a card.
However, turned out I was wrong, though, because the hair listed was not the right color.

We don't have a mailman
Maybe the kids here took things into their own hands with a preemptive strike. The question now is, who is going to deliver the ad with the "Have you seen this person?" with the picture of the mailman?

Well, Rcky, screwing up the addresses seems to go pretty much part and parcel with being a mailman.
However, the plastered-on grin certainly is alarming.
There used to be this guy in my neighborhood who would wander around outside in his robe and slippers, just constantly smiling at everybody, and never saying anything.
We only later found out* that he was actually an escaped mental patient.
* after all those children started disappearing

Hi Madame...so what's with these mailmen? Is delivering mail a stressful
job? Why do I ask? Because you think your mailman drinks and we think our mailman is on some serious tranquillizers...we call him the prozac mailman. Why? He always screws up our mail and he ALWAYS has a big grin on his face. LOL
