I received a small zip-lock bag type package in the mail a couple days back from the USPS. It included a note and a card. The note stated:

We’re sorry that a package addressed to you had been damaged during shipping. We take pride and great strides to ensure that all packages arrive safely and on-time…

Strange. Especially since I haven’t been expecting anything. I opened the enclosed card, only to find that it was a Christmas card that must have gotten lost in the mail around the holidays. The postmark on the card was December 30, 2005.

Hmm… no wonder email has become so popular.
