Going postal
01/09/2006 @ 3:00 pm
Judging by the following reports about mishaps around Japan during this year’s New Year card delivery season, it looks as if the postal system in Japan may be going the way of its U.S. counterpart.
- An 18-year-old high school boy who was hired as a part-time worker by the post office in Yamagata, Japan buried 627 pieces of mail, including 437 New Year cards, in the snow because he was too tired to deliver it.
- In Chiba, Japan, human feces was found to have stained more than 140 New Year cards in a mailbox. After the police were alerted, they found more human excrement in another nearby mailbox as well.
- In Shiga, Japan a postal official was found to have used a coat hanger and adhesive tape in an attempt to retrieve New Year cards from a residential mailbox because he thought they had been delivered to the wrong address. Though he was unable to snag any New Year cards, he did land an advertising flier which he took back with him.

People should remember to Fed Ex their poo and not rely on the regular postal service to deliver.
Somewhere there is a poo-fetish salarymen desperately waiting for a package – in vain. Sad, really.
