It\u2019s an unending source of wonderment among immigrants that Americans dare to send cash, Marzipan fruits or a tiny little bottle of maple syrup through the mail, because in the old country, all of those things would be reliably boosted by a corrupt someoneorother. And\u00a0let\u2019s not be negative about the junk mail, either people.\u00a0Somebody buys it, somebody &#8220;designs&#8221; it, somebody prints it, somebody addresses it and somebody has to use it for kindling. Other than Banking, Insurance, organ harvesting and sex in the public mensroom, it\u2019s about the only part of the economy still turning a profit.\u00a0So, read your junk mail, and if you still have money, use it to buy the things advertised and tell everybody you buy things from \u201d I\u2019m only here because of your fascinating advertising media delivered to my household via a bulk rate mail run.\u201d It doesn\u2019t matter whether you got anything from them or not, seriously\u2026most business owners are \u2018tards and don\u2019t remember if they are doing direct mail. Tell them you have a coupon and you lost it, you might get discount! \u00a0And let me remind you that, even though Pennsylvania is drenched in snow and ice, my mom still got her mail. Because neither sleet nor etc.\u00a0If I had to pick one bizarrely paramilitary arm of the federal masters, staffed by borderline autistics and weirdos, it wouldn\u2019t be Blackwater. It would be the guys who literally \u201chaul the mail.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Thank you.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Let me remind you folks, in lots of other parts of the world, you can\u2019t send your nephew a candy bar, a $5 bill, or a traveller\u2019s check for his birthday, because no matter how many times you try it, it never arrives!
