Re: Joke Thread
One of life's conundrums.
In the past, the Pony Express, using relays of men & horses, could get mail from Missouri to California (~ 2000 miles) in about 10 days, or an average of about 200 miles/ day. Recently, I had a USPS Priority Mail 9x12 envelope (claiming 1-3 days for delivery) travel ~700 miles in 14 days, or an average of about 50 miles/ day. So much for "Neither snow, nor rain, nor heat, nor gloom of night, stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds".

Re: Joke Thread
I recently sent off a package to Florida (USPS priority). It arrived in 3 days, then promptly headed north up to Maine only to get sent back to Florida and again return to Maine. Sat in Maine for 5 days before getting sent back to Florida and took another 4 days to get to the customer. I figure the package traveled well over 5000 miles and took 13-14 days
