    • And late.

      I’ve had dealings with UPS for about 30 years and they’re about 50% on actually delivering my stuff.
      My favorite was the girl who testily asked if I knew my address when they delivered my package to the wrong town/zip code.

    Yes, it could be
    Yes, you’re right it surely could be
    Somethin’ special
    Somethin’ very, very special now
    Just for me!

    some salmon from Seattle

    a new rockin’ chair.

  2. UPS is starting a drone service. Its first delivery will be…

    A box containing: one forty-five caliber automatic; two boxes of ammunition; four days’ concentrated emergency rations; one drug issue containing antibiotics, morphine, vitamin pills, pep pills, sleeping pills, tranquilizer pills; one miniature combination Russian phrase book and Bible; one hundred dollars in rubles; one hundred dollars in gold; nine packs of chewing gum; one issue of prophylactics; three lipsticks; three pair of nylon stockings.

      • Um…Dallas…especially if you read lips.

        The original was supposed to be Dallas, but as Dr. Strangelove was released just after the Kennedy assassination, they dubbed over “Dallas” with “Vegas”. They thought it would be poor form so soon after the assassination.

        And now you know.
