I have just read this entire line of posts...WOW! I was lol. HOWEVER...looking at this from the outside I will admit that after Enron, Clinton (who was a good president, I don't care about his d**k, do you?), and other issues with many government agencies and private companies the idea of someone at some CA paying someone at some Post Office (perhaps a friend) to look for and remove the green cards is possible, however VERY unlikely. This kind of issue, if you are serious with your comments, should have been sent in writing to the Postmaster Generals Office for investigation. You should not have written this post here making it sound like a conspiracy theory. I have not read your other posts, but in the short time I have been here, I have learned to respect Doc and the others opinions greatly so I will reserve comment on your phsychological state. I am not qualified for that. If indeed your local post office told you that it may be a plant from the CA, either water it and give it plenty of light, or write a letter to the Postmaster General telling him what you have told us. In either case please stop posting this here or I will have to call Scotty on my communicator, have you beamed up, placed in a force field closed cell, and brain scanned by a Talosian!.
I'm sure all the comments about little green men from all you will be very helpful to newbies and vistors.You can bet they will be very impressed !
OH MY GOD -- lbrown59 is RIGHT. CNN IS CARRYING THE STORY: Link: FTC Admits Conspiracy I can't believe it! Doc
Ya know, you may have overlooked one thing.... What if the post office couldn't find anyone to sign it. You can refuse, ya know. Or just hide. If this happens, you won't get the green card back because no one signed it. I've dodged signature required letters before. It seems unlikely they would do this at a business, but I suppose it's possible.
catatized, Don't forget you have 15 minutes to edit a post. It comes in handy if you feel "guilty" after pressing the submit reply button
Doc, I have tears coming to my eyes. I haven't laughed so hard since...I don't remember. Good job reporting breeze, you're doing an outstanding job. Find those green men. ROFL Dani
A few years ago, I was down on my luck. I took a job with a collection agency, I had to meet them at midnight in the warehouse district. I met with the collections manager who introduced me to our local postmaster, the post master gave me a key to our main postal facility here in town. The collections manager made me disguise myself as a plant and forced me to eat all the green cards that came into the building! It was horrible.
The taste wasn't so bad, but I had no idea of the addictive qualities of green cards, I found myself going to post office to post office looking for certified mail! I couldn't get enough! it got so bad that I couldn't support my habit, I started selling everything! Once I couldn't get a high off the cards I started smoking first class mail, then priority! Sure enough things moved on and I started going after UPS and FEDEX packages.
NEXTCARD 2? aaarrrfffff!!! really excellent work - better than General Motors corp website - LOL! best regards - Dogman
I think lbrown59 has a good point! Perhaps some of you took his initial comment literally. I interpreted his "conspiracy theory" as an attempt at using simile/metaphor/figure of speech or something along those lines to make his point. But his real message is clear if you will read between the lines of what he said. I live in a very small town, and I am certain that local creditors have very strong affiliations with our two postal workers. I can assure you that green cards do get tossed from time to time as a favor from one friend to another. lbrown59, Not everyone appreciates an active imagination. I often use creative analogies, conspiracy theories, and other means to get my students to consider new ideas or to revisit traditional ideas in a brand new way. I knew what you were driving at and the way in which you chose to present your idea made me smile a little. Thanks for taking an unsettling idea and making it a bit more palatable and entertaining!
