LOLS and Kudos to United States Postal Service

Group decides to send various items wrapped and unwrapped through the USPS to see what would happen.

"Second, the delivery involved the collusion of sequences of postal workers, not simply lone operatives. The USPS appears to have some collective sense of humor, and might in fact here be displaying the rudiments of organic bureaucratic intelligence."

I used to work in a contract postal station, so you WOULD NOT BELIEVE the crap I had to deal with, you have to have a sense of humour to work for the
PO - and if anything, I think the article shows how fantastic the USPS is, more reliable than the postal services in any country in Europe I lived in.
