My mailman’s name is Richard and he is conspiring against me. He knows what I want and yet every day it’s the same thing…</p>
<p>He drives his ratty old dirty white pile of USPS’s finest up to my mailbox. He pretends to shuffle the mail for at least a full minute, lazily shifts his plump cheeks and oozes out of the pile. He considers my mail like he’s satisfied with it or something, then he looks over and pretends to have just noticed me hanging over the side fence gate.</p>
<p>Richard shrugs in a laughing manner: “Doesn’t look like it’s here yet.”
<p>I just walk back thinking of ways to defeat my nemesis, Dick. Yes I know that referring to him by the shortened version of Richard is childish but I think he has what I want and he’s just toying with me. He has ceased to be a Richard to me. </p>
<p>Every day it’s the same. Well every day except yesterday…</p>
<p>Richard opens with his placating “Doesn’t look like it’s here yet” crappola.
<p>So really it’s up to Dick. While it is true that he holds all the cards, I have recently come into the possession of a yellow slingshot and I made several hundred small ice cubes last night. Ice melts. </p>
<p>So we’ll see what the mail brings today. We’ll just see.

<p>If you have time and want to laugh, click on the link in mtpaper’s post above. I read this last year and it is pretty entertaining. Start at the first post.</p>
<p>Hahahahahaha!</p>
<p>In my case, this has been replaced by “hitting the ‘check mail’ button 20 times a day.”</p>
