Touching Xmas story..

There was a man who worked for the Post Office whose job was to process all the mail that had illegible addresses. One day, a letter came addressed in a shaky handwriting to God with no actual address. He thought he should open it to see what it was about. The letter read:

Dear God, I am an 83-year-old widow, living on a very small pension. Yesterday someone stole my purse. It had $100 in it, which was all the money I had until my next pension payment. Next Sunday is Christmas, and I had invited two of my friends over for dinner. Without that money, I have nothing to buy food with, have no family to turn to, and you are my only hope. Can you please help me?

Sincerely,
Elaine
**************************************************************

The postal worker was touched. He showed the letter to all the other workers. Each one dug into his or her wallet and came up with a few dollars. By the time he made the rounds, he had collected $96, which they put into an envelope and sent to the woman.

The rest of the day, all the workers felt a warm glow thinking of Elaine and the dinner she would be able to share with her friends. Christmas came and went.

A few days later, another letter came from the same old lady to God. All the workers gathered around while the letter was opened. It read:
************************************************************************

Dear God, How can I ever thank you enough for what you did for me?

Because of your gift of love, I was able to fix a glorious dinner for my friends. We had a very nice day and I told my friends of your wonderful gift.

PS: there was $4 missing.
I think it must have been those thieving bastards at the Post Office.

Sincerely,
Elaine

Sadly, the USPS is not what it once was. My grandfather was a Postmaster. He was very proud of the service that he and the employees of the post office gave the customers.

I've met the present local Postmaster in my location, ... he's a fricken idiot. My mail-woman is another fricken a$$hole. My mail ends up in my neighbor's box. My neighbor's packages end up on my front porch. They're all lazy, uneducated idiots, .... but the post office is a proud employer of ignorant minorities, ... dammit!
