Going Postal

Tough times at America's post offices: What with the digital bill-paying and the e-mail, the USPS is looking at a $7 billion loss this year. They might even have to shut down a few post offices.

Some of the things we'll miss about the post office:

* The can-do! attitude of the morbidly obese zombies working behind the counter
* The weekly $.02 price hike for stamps
* The line of humanity snaking out the front door
* The great selection of stamps, featuring "Flags blowing in the wind" and "Holiday Nutcrackers 5-pack"
* The smell
* The edgy drifter hanging out by the packing tape
* The threat of a postal working going ... well, postal
