I don't understand these complaints about the postal service. Time was,
you could put a two-cent stamp on a letter and mail it, and it would
arrive at its destination in two days. Now you put a twenty-five-cent
stamp on a letter and it can take three to four weeks to arrive.
Still only a penny a day!
(From the letter column in Harper's Magazine, in response to an article
about the US Post Office.)
{ed You think you have it bad. In Canada, we're shortly going to be
paying 39 cents for penny/day service.}
