Lost in the Mail???

The following is an excerpt of an article from the Wash. Post on Saturday, June 25,2205;

"The chairman of the House ethics committee apparently did not properly file a required report about a $3,170 trip to Canada last year. His staff said it must have been lost in the mail."

What originality!! Didn't they have a better excuse? Couldn't they have pinned the blame on a dog?
No, it must have been lost in the mail. How is it that in the 32 years that I have been married the Postal Service has NEVER lost one of my bills? Yes, they might have arrived a few days late or damaged by machine or even arrived wet and smudged but they NEVER lost one bill.

How convenient it is to have the proverbial scapegoat, the good old incompetent, USPS when all else fails.

How dare they call themselves staff! They are not staff but a bunch of STIFFS.
