New York Post Weird by True March 15, 2009
It might have been rain, sleet, gloom of night - or perhaps a mechanical glitch - that contributed to a Postal Service delivery snafu that took 47 years to correct.
An Ohio resident opened his mailbox to find a postcard mailed from Montana in 1962 and addressed to the previous tenant.
A USPS spokesman speculated that the card may have gotten stuck in some equipment or lost behind a mail chute.

The recipient a Mr. RH Hardin stated that the postcard was from his prom date who accepted his invitation to the Senior Prom at Millard Fillmore Regional High School. However since he did not get the card he never attempted to contact his date and has shunned women ever since as he has turned his attention to nubile poultry.

I did a job in the Cleveland Post Office in the early '90's when they found an undelivered letter from WWII from a brother to a sister. They brought the media out to the sister's place (still the same one!) and made a show of delivering it.
When she read the letter it seemed her brother wanted to leave his wife! And he wanted money. He didn't survive the war.
I go from perro to pollo,
I go from pollo to perro,
And for a change of pace
I go to the Dairy Queen.
Is there something primal about men and chickens?
It's just that chickens are always on the look out for a nice cock.
And men, Rooster York?
I hear they are always on the lookout for some "good cook".
That's like an old Mad Magazine bit:
"Dear Mr. President,
Our American Cousin awful. Stay home tonight and read a book."
