Knuckleheads | What's Your Problem with the Post Office

There's this code language about government incompetence—a sort of Manchurian Knucklehead effect—that cues off the words post office.

Really? Because I write personal checks and letters and send them to faraway places where they arrive a fews days after I hand them to the post office (cue the smirking and snorting) and I don't have to get in my car and drive ten miles or 500 or a thousand miles to hand-deliver my personal message or monetary instrument and I don't have to set an appointment to make sure the recipient will be there when my envelope arrives. I pay 44 cents for this delivery service. The recipient pays nothing.

You there...yeh, you know who you are... Stop being a knucklehead. Your argument is tired and your language is tired and your imagery is tired and you have grown tiresome. The adults are having a conversation about important things. Join the conversation or go outside and play in the yard. Your choice.
