THE MAILMAN'S LAST DAY
It was the mailman's last day
on the job. After 35 years of carrying the mail through all kinds
of weather to the
same neighborhood.
When he arrived at the first house on his route he was
greeted by the whole family there, who congratulated him
and sent him on his way with a big gift envelope.
At the second house they presented him with a box of
fine cigars.
The folks at the third house handed him a selection of terrific
fishing lures.
At the fourth house he was met at the door by a strikingly
beautiful blonde in a revealing negligee. She took him by the
hand, gently led him through the door (which she closed
behind him), and led him up the stairs to the bedroom where she
blew his mind with the most passionate love he had ever
experienced.
When he had had enough they went downstairs, where
she fixed him a giant breakfast: Eggs, Hash-Browns, Ham, Sausage,
Biscuits, Flap-Jacks, and fresh-squeezed Orange Juice.
When he was truly satisfied she poured him a cup of steaming
coffee. As she was pouring, he noticed a dollar bill sticking out
from under the cup's bottom edge.
"All this was just too wonderful for words,"
he said, "but what's the dollar for?"
"Well," she said, "last night, I told
my husband that today would be your last day,
and that we should do something special for you. I asked him what
to give you."
He said, "Screw him - - - give him a dollar."
The blonde then blushed and said, "The breakfast was my idea."
