Good ones, Hermanus104, you've got it! Here's another: You'll always have "friends" if you drive a pick up truck or win a jackpot You hit the nail on the head with the pickup trucks Coin Toss. I can attest to that. I've had pickups all my life and at one time I was thinking about getting business cards printed up saying: No, I'm busy, I can't help you move this weekend and no, you can't borrow my pickup truck and let me use your piece of crap car for the weekend. I even had to be guarded when answering questions. For instance when someone asked what I was doing over the weekend, instead of telling them "nothing", I would ask what they were doing. If they said they were moving then I was going out of town (and I needed my pickup). It was amazing how ignorant people could get thinking just because you have a pickup you were available for hauling stuff everyday after work and every weekend. No wonder I'm an eccentric recluse living in a secluded holler in a remote area now. . The water ain't never gonna run clear til you get the pigs out of the creek.

Hahaha, don't forget the "Hey you want to come over and have a few beers" Then after you show up its " Yah we gotta do this one thing first" The one thing is 3 hours of moving someone elses stuff. Lottery Haikus eh? Most expensive meal The day i win the jackpot One hundred tacos(burgers) New friends will show up After I get that big check My old friends I'll keep A few dollars here A few more bucks over there A jackpot i've spent | | |

rdgrnr, Taipanez, Yeah, you've both got it nailed with the pick up scenarios. Another haiku: Discussions die fast but not if about systems 'though none has yet worked It's Lotto, not horseshoes or artillery!

Systems come and go most are just mere jobs of snow yet people praise them It's Lotto, not horseshoes or artillery!

ca-dreaming is not going to like you ridge..Your putting her down when you down grade the US Postal system..Shame on you.. I don't downgrade the US Postal Service. They do that themselves. I just comment on it. I've lived in Chicago, the PO was just as bad there. It's probably improved since ca- got there. She doesn't seem like one of those mind-numbed, robotic, shuffling zombies with the "where am I" look on their face you usually see walking a route or behind the counter. (not that there's anything wrong with that) . The water ain't never gonna run clear til you get the pigs out of the creek.

...and then the bar code machine breaks down and it's Publisxher's Clearing House day..... Newman, Seinfeld I worked for the USPS in Nevada and Illinois, want to hear some stories? LoL CT, I've probably lived them. I remember when the Postmaster in Chicago spent over a million dollars redecorating their office in a building they were moving out of. Punishment? Transferred to another post office. I saw tapes of postal workers going through mail bins picking out all the colored envelopes (birthday cards with possible cash) and keeping them. They were caught red handed. Punishment? Transferred to another post office. Lessons learned? Always send birthday cards in white envelopes and don't trust the post office with a winning lottery ticket. Even when they catch someone stealing they don't prosecute, they just transfer them to continue stealing at a different post office. .
