I knew a mail man and he used to talk about the stress of the job. He always
said the I did not understand. When I asked if the people on his route were
swapping house numbers he did not find it funny. That would make the job either
stressful or funny, not sure which. I still don't understand the stress
involved with walking house to house putting some mail in the boxes. Do UPS
for FedEx workers have such problems? Maybe they make fun of the USPO workers
to relive stress?
