12. Did you ever open anyone's mail as a postmaster?
Hey now Sleazy, I dunno where you get your information from, but I wasn't just no Postmaster..........
I was the goddamn national Postmaster General !!!!!!!
OK, it was of a small island in the South Pacific
40 square kilometres, population 1800.
No street numbers.
Once a month the ship came in with all the parcel post and the dumptruck would literally dump 100+ mail bags at the back door of the Post Office for us to sort.
It was always fun opening a mail bag to see a bunch of boxes with "Fragile" tape wrapped all around them ....
We'd then play the game of "shake the box and guess what it USED to be".
It was a beautiful place, amazing scenery and rolling over on bed and watching the moonrise over the Pacific Ocean... well, that view even challenged the view from Penthouse now as simply incredible.
The problem ?
200 years of inbreeding amongst the population.
LOTS of 6 fingered banjo players.
But it WAS an incredible year in my life.
