Airline Food is Proof Man Was Not Meant to Fly

Posted by Whet Moser on 08.20.09 at 12:21 PM

One of the great mysteries of human existence is why the post office is the go-to source for anyone who wants to prove that government can't run... whatever that person doesn't want the government to run. (Anyone who sends their rent checks and wedding invitations FedEx, please raise your hand.)

I know that Chicago has had its share of post office problems in recent years, but I can think of much better examples.

The universality of the Post Office is one explanation, but I suspect it has a lot to do with the USPS being the first government agency to hire African Americans in an equal opportunity fashion.

I don't think the post office is so bad, yet whenever I need a laugh, I read the yelp listing for the post office down the street.

My favorite review is Chris N's who says the sign above the door should read: "Lasciate Ogni Speranza Voi Ch'Entrate" Translation: All hope abandon, ye who enter in.
