Why are there different mailboxes (priority, local, etc)?

I dunno. I know the "Priority" box at my post office says on it that it gets picked up 6 times a day while the others say twice a day.

I always assumed that it was a bit of "pre-sorting" but maybe it isn't?

damnit!

I knew that was the story.

It's all a big conspiracy to turn us into mindless drones.


When I was a wee one, we had a Postal on the street right outside our house. I thought when you put a letter in a mail box it magically "whoosed" from the box when you dropped it in, and arrived in the mailmans bag, and he delivered it.

So...being too little to know anyone to mail a letter to, even if I could write, I decided to send the world my greeting via mailing rocks and leaves. I honestly thought they were showing up somewhere else, like through a wormhole.

So....because of this belief, I didn't take off running when I saw the mailman walking up to me while I was making my daily postings.

Mailman: What are you doing?
Me: Mailing leaves.

I remember him being really nice about it, and explaining he didn't like this, and what really happened.

Until this time, he was probably thinking every day "&*$#@! KIDS"


To be honest, I still think a wormhole could still be involved somehow, and this story of yours, Linkat, lends credence to this belief.
