(read to the tune of "Sitting on the Dock of the Bay")

Sittin' in this box all alone....
Just sittin' here restin' my bones.
Two thousand miles I've roamed....
Just to make this MAILBOX my HOME!
Sittin' in this box all alone....
wasting time and writing this poem!

Tampering with US Mail is a federal offense and may be punishable by a fine of 5 pounds of cheese, 10 days in a cage with a cat, or execution by mousetrap.

Keep USPS closed and secured from external threats and train carriers to deliver only to safe and right mailboxes. I had mail of my neighbour two times atleast in a period of less than two months in my mail box. I wonder how many of my mails delivered elsewhere. I even once had Steak and Shake Employees salary check delivered in my mailbox who already left the place.

Hey people. You missed the odvious!! These are outgoing letters (no barcode on the top letter - no cancellation on the stamp.) It's the customer feeding the mouse not the carrier. Let's hear some caption from the side of the customer feeding this poor hungry mouse.

No wonder volume is down.

Not necessarily - could have been an uncancelled letter from the previous day's delivery... no revenue protection there :(
